LeBron James wants the Miami Heat to add key pieces to the team in order for him to return. They’ve already missed out on Kyle Lowry and Marcin Gortat and the clock is running down. Now they’re going after Luol Deng.
via Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports:
Miami president Pat Riley plans to meet with free agent Luol Deng in Chicago today, league source tells Yahoo.
The problem is the Heat don’t have much to offer and there’s too much uncertainty since Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James aren’t signed. Also given the contracts that players have received so far this offseason, the market is more expensive than anticipated. There’s also a report that Deng is not willing to take significantly less to play with the Heat so unless Riley pulls off some of his magic, it won’t happen.
