With the NBA trade deadline less than an hour away, the Miami Heat reportedly are making a last minute push to acquire Phoenix Suns guard Goran Dragic. One report indicated Miami is going all out and offering Norris Cole, Josh McRoberts, Chris Anderson and future draft picks.
UPDATE (4:19 p.m. ET) - Latest details on Miami's huge trade day.
Miami is one of Dragic's three preferred destinations, according to Yahoo Sports. Miami doesn't have the biggest arsenal of assets, but a number of media outlets are citing an ESPN report that Miami is offering almost everything they do have for the 28-year-old point guard.
"ESPN reporting Heat's pitch for Goran Dragic is Norris Cole, Josh McRoberts, Birdman (Andersen) and two first-round picks," Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel tweeted Thursday.
RealGM also cited the same ESPN report. It's worth noting, however, the original report from ESPN hasn't been found online. What ESPN is reporting, according to tweets from both Marc Stein and Chris Broussard, is Miami has offered two future first-round picks for Dragic.
If the report is accurate, it's uncertain what other players will be included since Phoenix already has a full 15-man roster.
Dragic reportedly told the Suns front office on Tuesday he would not re-sign with them in the offseason, precipitating Phoenix to find a trade partner before 3:00 p.m. on Thursday or risk losing him for nothing in July. Broussard reported Suns owner Robert Sarver, however, is being stubborn and unwilling to trade Dragic.
UPDATE:
The Suns and Heat have agreed to a Goran Dragic deal. It's happening
