Bleacher Report said a three‑team deal could deliver LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo together in Miami and give the Lakers a fresh center.
Lakers insiders said a comeback for LeBron to the Heat remains feasible, and Stephen A. Smith noted Pat Riley would not rule it out.
Miami’s recent comments on Giannis’ brothers have sparked fan discussion.
Some analysts hint the Heat may favor veteran players over rookie talent this summer.
The club will face the Milwaukee Bucks in Las Vegas and is expected to square off with the Orlando Magic on July 11, according to NBA.com.
