Heat Make Ruthless Kyrie Irving Decision Amid Strong Trade Pursuit

The Miami Heat are keeping Kyrie Irving on their radar, even as Dallas continues to present him as part of its plans. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, Miami remains heavily interested in monitoring the Mavericks guard. That keeps a name connected to the Heat without establishing that negotiations are underway. The Mavericks said they have zero desire to even take calls regarding Irving. The Heat have made the ruthless choice to persist in the face of adversity. For Miami fans, the distinction matters.
