At a time when there is little certainty in the NBA, let alone cost certainty, Alec Burks said on Tuesday he is hopeful of being able to offer both for the Miami Heat.

The focus may be on Kevin Durant, but Alec Burks continues to make it clear he wants to be return to the Heat.

The Memphis Grizzlies stunned the NBA world when they traded Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic on Sunday, but moving Ja Morant would be an even more shocking move.

"Miami has prioritized pursuits of Giannis Antetokounmpo (if he became available this summer) and Durant (whom they’re actively trying to acquire) on their wish list ahead of Kuminga, who’s viewed as a fallback option to the two superstars," wrote Scotto.

After the trade of Desmond Bane, Grizzlies star Ja Morant's name has been mentioned once again in connection to the Heat.

This isn’t exactly breaking news, but the Miami Heat probably won’t end up acquiring Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns. This is according to John Gambadoro, the afternoon drive host on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM in Phoenix. Gambadoro let the cat out of the bag and mentioned that the Suns have received better offers than what the Heat can offer.

▪ The first day after the NBA Finals: The Heat and other NBA teams can begin negotiating with their own impending free agents on the day after the last game of the NBA Finals. For the Heat, that means negotiations can begin with impending free agents Davion Mitchell (restricted free agent) and Alec Burks (unrestricted free agent).

With the 2025 NBA draft eight days away (June 25-26, 8 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN), 30 teams are deep into their predraft process, working out top prospects and narrowing down their draft boards in preparation for the two-round event.
