The Heat had a chance to get Durant, but they refused to send the forward star to the Suns?

According to the report of Miami Herald reporter Barry Jackson, in order to get Kevin Durant, the Miami Heat is willing to provide a huge transaction offer to the Phoenix Suns. The Heat are willing to provide the Suns with Andrew Wiggins, Terry Rozier, Haywood Highsmith, Jaime Jacquez Jr., the 20th first-round pick and other future draft swap rights to the Suns.

But the problem is that in addition to all the above players, the Suns also hope that the Heat will add Nikola Jovic to the deal. In this way, the main obstacle to the Heat's acquisition of Durant seems to be the young Serbian player Jovic, who otherwise their offer might have touched the sun. In the new season, the Heat may focus on developing young players such as Jovic, Hax, Kel 'el Ware and Pelle Larsson. Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo are of course leaders of the Heat today, but everyone will focus on the young players to see how they will make progress in the new season and prove that they are worth the team's waiting.

In the NBA regular season last season, Jovic was affected by injury and played 46 games in 82 games, averaging 25.1 minutes per game, averaging 10.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 82.8%. In the playoffs, Jovic played 4 games in total, with an average of 18.8 minutes per game, with averaging 9.5 points, 4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 0.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 37.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 25%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 100%.

Jovic's overall performance last season was pretty good. He also showed at least a considerable improvement. His offensive efficiency is relatively stable. He has a relatively comprehensive scoring ability. He can also take on some passing and organizational talents. He also looks like a player with high plasticity. Of course, Jovic is a player with a high room for future development, but the problem is that the Heat directly chose to refuse to send him out for Durant, which is a bit surprising. What level Jovic can play in the future is actually an unknown, and the Heat do not seem to be a team in the reconstruction period. Such an operation that is neither up nor down is more or less confusing.
