The Miami Heat have reached out to the Warriors to gauge their interest in trading three-time All-Star and emotional team leader Draymond Green, according to a report Wednesday.

With the NBA’s trading deadline of Thursday at noon PT fast approaching, Miami faces long odds of convincing Golden State to part ways with Green but the Heat are trying hard, reports Greg Sylvander of Five Reasons Sports Network in Miami.

Heat have expressed interest in Golden State’s Draymond Green according to a source. Many hurdles exist:

• hard cap both sides

• trade kicker

• finding 3rd team

• other trades in motion Nevertheless I’m told Heat have registered interest & Green is aware.@5ReasonsSports — Greg Leif Sylvander (@GregSylvander) February 5, 2020

Miami’s inquiry, though, has been serious enough that Green was apparently informed of the discussion. However, there’s been no indication the Warriors would now consider trading one of the integral parts of their three NBA titles and five-year stretch of NBA Finals appearances, even if he is about to turn 30 next month.

But, if presented with an overwhelming offer …

As Sylvander pointed out, there are still major hurdles facing any possible deal — both teams are hard-capped so a third team would likely need to be involved to make it happen. While Green on Monday became eligible to be traded, the max contract he signed in August also includes a 15 percent trade kicker, which could be cost-prohibitive.

There are also indications Miami may have already pivoted away from Green as The Athletic reported the Heat could be close to a deal with Memphis for ex-Warrior Andre Iguodala.

Also working against a possible agreement is the fact Miami’s immediate draft assets aren’t great — and we know the Warriors’ demand for first-round picks has likely held up any possible D’Angelo Russell trade. The surprising Heat (34-15) came into Wednesday with the fifth-best record in the league, so its pick in June figures to be near the end of the first round. Plus, it doesn’t own its first-round pick in 2021, which is shaping up to be a loaded class.

Given all the forces working against Miami’s pursuit of Green there’s also the question of who on the Heat would interest Golden State? Ironically, the Heat own a 22-year-old in Bam Adebayo, whose game resembles Green’s. Miami, though, could be as loathe to deal their newly minted All-Star as the Warriors would be to break up their core with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson ready to get the band back together next season.

Adebayo, a 6-foot-9 center from Kentucky, is like Green in that he loves doing the dirty work. He’s a very adept defender with quick feet, he’s an accomplished screener and is Draymond-esque with his passing. Adebayo is also one of just two players in the league who averages at least 15 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block — Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo is the other.

In theory, the Warriors and Heat can match contracts with a swap of Green ($18.5 million) for Justise Winslow ($13 million), a disappointment since being drafted 10th overall in 2015; small forward Duncan Robinson ($1.4 million), a 3-point specialist who makes 44 percent from beyond the arc; and Adebayo ($3.4 million).

Yet, it’s all just talk for now, and until noon on Thursday.
