On his radio show on 790 The Ticket in Miami, Ethan Skolnick, along with ESPN’s Mike Wallace, said the Miami Heat are interested in adding Sacramento Kings forward Omri Casspi. One player the Kings want in return, they said, is young guard Tyler Johnson. They added that nothing is imminent, but deals have been discussed.
The Heat are in desperate need of perimeter shooting, and Casspi fits the bill. Casspi, 27, is shooting 42.2 percent from 3-point range this season, and is averaging 4.5 attempts per game. Also, at 6-foot-9, 225 pounds, Casspi, a natural small forward, can play some stretch-4 and help the Heat go small.
