They might not necessarily need Deron, but what's important isn't whether they need him, but to prevent the opponent from using him.
Deron chose New York over Miami.
Finally, the most valuable free agent veteran, Kyle Korver.
As a sharpshooter from the 2003 draft class, he has been in the league for fourteen years, known for his three-pointers, and Miami Heat was determined to acquire him.
At the same time, the Golden State Warriors were also actively recruiting him.
However, both Leonard and Lillard's charisma were a few notches below Curry and James.
Furthermore, Miami's tax system, extremely friendly to the wealthy, as well as its geographical environment as a tourist city, also played a key role.
Miami Heat signed Korver, significantly enhancing their outside shooting capability.
As for the inside, after tryouts, they opted to sign Hassan Whiteside, whom China's second-tier league considered "lacking in ability."
