It’s not as sexy to talk about as Kevin Durant, but one of the biggest needs for the Miami Heat this summer is a backup center. After getting the commitment from Hassan Whiteside to re-sign, the Heat are starting to look at possible backups.
According to Basketball Insiders, the Heat are interested in former Nets big man Willie Reed.
Unrestricted free agent Willie Reed has received interest from the Heat, Spurs, Timberwolves and Pacers among other teams, per sources.

The Heat desperately needed another center in the second round of the playoffs against the Toronto Raptors after Whiteside went down with an injury.
