On May 28, Kings player Demar DeRozan's next odds were released, with Heat +145, Lakers +220, Raptors +375, Nuggets +375, and Philadelphia +525. Green Kay legend Pierce also suggested that the Nuggets exchange Porter for DeRozan.

However, NBA reporter Brett Siegel soon revealed that Heat President Pat Riley regarded DeRozan as a potential signing target this summer.

Then there was news that the main bargaining chip for the Heat to exchange DeRozan was Andrew Wiggins. The Heat data analyst immediately posted a set of data comparisons and wrote: This is the usage rate of DeRozan in the past eight seasons. Although the 35-year-old DeRozan is indeed a better score creator and terminator than Wiggins, these two have performed similarly in space. If they want to exchange DeRozan for 29-year-old Wiggins for exchange DeRozan, I think it is questionable. (Two people's three-point shooting percentage is actually better)

On the evening of May 28, the US media FW also reported that the Heat became the potential next home of DeRozan, the king of China Investment, and the Heat have great hope of winning a 35-year-old veteran in the trade.

Their simulated trading plan does not include Wiggins, and they also think that the Heat will refuse to send Wiggins away. After all, in order to get Wiggins, the Heat sent Jimmy Butler. The deal was that the Heat sent Rozier, Larson, and the second round pick in 2027, which is 3 for 1.

In this way, the Heat have created a brand new lineup - Herro, DeRozan, Wiggins, Adebayo, and Ver. The attacking ability of this lineup will be much stronger than the current set, and its scoring ability will soar at critical moments. This season, the Heat lacks the one who has a fatal blow at critical moments. DeRozan happens to have such ability.
