miami heat $82 million trade target have officially announced when they plan to join the Miami Heat before trade deadline

miami heat had an opportunity to land Chicago Bulls veteran DeMar DeRozan when he was a free agent in 2021. They passed, opting instead to acquire Russell Westbrook.

Fast forward to now and the  miami’ renewed interest may no longer be mutual.

“DeRozan … is considered very likely to be on the move before the deadline passes,” Sam Amick of The Athletic wrote on December 1. “When it comes to possible destinations, the Heat and Knicks are known to be preferable to DeRozan if he winds up getting moved.

The 34-year-old DeRozan is off to a slow start. He is also dealing with a sprained ankle that knocked him out of the Bulls’ last game. But he has been durable in his two-plus seasons in Chicago and is coming off back-to-back All-Star campaigns. In the final year of a three-year, $81.9 million contract, extension talks have gone quiet, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
