Heat not pursuing Zach LaVine

The Miami Heat aren’t actively looking to trade for Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls, as per Barry Jackson from The Miami Herald. He believes it’s unlikely for this stance to change.

Despite earlier speculation that LaVine would be interested in joining Miami, the Heat’s consideration of their proximity to the tax aprons is a key factor.

Trading Tyler Herro, with his $120 million owed over the next four years, as the main piece for LaVine, would significantly increase the team’s future salary, making the move less appealing.
