SportingNews

The Heat have been involved in trade discussions with several teams, but owner Micky Arison said that second-year player Michael Beasley has not been a part of the various proposals.

"We’ve never put him out there," Arison told The Miami Herald. "I know I’ve read about him being put out there. I can tell you this: We have not put him out there. The media has. We like Michael and see him as a part of our core going forward."

Arison didn’t name specific deals he’s discussed with other teams but said "there are a lot of interesting things going on." He also noted that if the Heat don’t make a move now, they’ll have flexibility over the summer, when they’ll have several expiring contracts coming off the books.

According to reports, the Heat have had trade discussions with the Suns, Grizzlies, Rockets, Blazers, Bobcats, Kings and Celtics.
