## Resource

The Miami Heat are on hold, waiting to see if LeBron James returns — and if not, they’ve got a backup plan: DeMar DeRozan. Recently bought out by Sacramento, the veteran scorer is seeking a veteran minimum deal and could be a steal with his consistent 18.4 PPG, efficient shooting, and 74+ games played in five straight seasons. Pat Riley and the Heat have been circling back to DeRozan as a key piece if LeBron leaves — offering scoring, experience, and a reliable bench option, even if he’s not a three-point specialist. With roster spots open and a need to improve shooting and playmaking, Miami’s playing the long game, keeping options like Westbrook on the table too — all while hoping LeBron stays.
