Miami Heat Rumors: Pat Riley Expected to Make Run at Kevin Durant in 2016

The Miami Heat have had a track record of going after big-name free agents ever since Pat Riley joined the organization two decades ago.

Don’t expect that to change in 2016.

With Kevin Durant being a free agent during the 2016 offseason, Zach Lowe of Grantland expects Riley to make yet another run at a big-name superstar during free agency:

“One star changes everything, and Riley gets stars. Next summer, Miami could open up nearly $40 million in cap room, and as much as $45 million if it moves McRoberts for extra cap space.
