 The Miami Heat are reportedly eyeing Zach LaVine as a trade target, and one mock deal sends Andrew Wiggins, Nikola Jovic and Simone Fontecchio to the Kings. Ethan Skolnick says the Heat are looking at LaVine in Sacramento: "He's not Kyrie, but he'd give them another creator in the backcourt." Davion Mitchell is averaging 8 assists a game, but no other Heat guard can run the offense, and Miami's pick-and-roll ball handlers are used on only 6.1 percent of possessions, dead last in the NBA. LaVine is averaging 21.7 points in 10 games for a Kings team with one win in 11. He also rolled his ankle in the loss to Orlando, but said he'll be okay. The mock trade has Miami sending out $48.8 million in salary to match LaVine's $48.9 million, which leaves $148,315 more coming in. Miami is hard capped at the first apron this season, and the trade machine puts it $2.83 million under that line. LaVine's $49 million player option runs out this summer. Fontecchio can't be traded until December 15, and Jovic signed a 4-year, $62.4 million extension through 2029-30.
