Rumors linking Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving to the Miami Heat have picked up steam, but a Heat insider is tempering expectations despite reports the guard may be open to a move, according to Sporting News and Yahoo Sports.
The speculation comes as Miami tries to steady itself after stumbling out of the gate. The Heat opened the season 0-4 before finally notching their first win, according to Yahoo Sports, a rocky start that has fueled talk of roster shakeups.
While an insider claims Irving would be willing to accept a trade to Miami, Sporting News reports there is a significant catch complicating any potential deal, meaning Heat fans hoping for a quick blockbuster may need to keep their expectations in check.
