Bleacher Report said a three‑team deal could bring LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo together in Miami and give the Lakers a additional center.
Lakers insiders said a re‑entry for LeBron to the Heat remains possible, and Stephen A. Smith noted Pat Riley would not rule it out.
Miami’s recent comments on Giannis’ brothers have sparked viewer chatter.
Some analysts hint the Heat might choose experienced stars over rookie talent this summer.
The club is set to meet the Milwaukee Bucks in Las Vegas and is expected to square off with the Orlando Magic on July 11, according to NBA.com.
