Bleacher Report said a three‑team deal could bring LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo together in Miami and give the Lakers a new center.
Lakers insiders said a comeback for LeBron to the Heat remains conceivable, and Stephen A. Smith noted Pat Riley would never rule it out.
Miami’s new comments on Giannis’ brothers have triggered viewer chatter.
Some analysts imply the Heat may favor experienced stars over rookie talent this summer.
The club will face the Milwaukee Bucks in Las Vegas and is slated to play the Orlando Magic on July 11, according to NBA.com.
