Kyrie Irving might be on his way out from Brooklyn and the Miami Heat are certainly interested in getting him to the South Beach.

Many teams have already started to prepare themselves if Kyrie Irving actually becomes available on the market. One of the emerging suitors for Kyrie Irving is the Miami Heat.

Marc Stein broke down the interest that the Miami Heat, who finished as the 1st seed in the Eastern Conference had in Kyrie Irving. He said, “Should the Nets reach the point of actively trying to trade him — and would figure to be a more legitimate landing spot than the teams initially mentioned given the Heat’s various trade assets.“
He added, “While it certainly ranks as another strain on the imagination to try to picture Irving finding daily comfort in Pat Riley’s rigid South Beach operation, it’s likewise true that the heat have never shied away from the starries of stars or personalities painted as challenging.
