The Miami Herald reports the Heat intend to make a bid to bring in Durant as the salary cap is set to spike to an estimated $89 million next season, an increase of more than $20 million.
With plenty of salary space, the Heat are in position to land any of the top-tier free agents, but the addition might come with a cost as it would likely mean the departure of Hassan Whiteside, with Dwyane Wade needing to take a pay cut.
Nursing a hamstring injury, Durant is averaging 28.1 points (fourth in the NBA), 7.3 rebounds, and 3 assists per game through eight games this season.
The Heat join a long list of teams that plan to pursue the 2014 MVP, including his hometown Wizards.
