What happened: A proposed deal would add a 25-year-old rising point guard to the Miami Heat's 2026-27 core.
Why it matters: Miami has been linked repeatedly to backcourt upgrades this offseason. A younger lead guard would give the rotation a longer-term organizer.
By the numbers: Miami remains tight against the NBA's $209 million hard cap.
What to watch: Miami's remaining offseason transactions will determine whether the backcourt changes before training camp.
