NBA rumors: Blazers join Heat in pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s ex-Bucks teammate

The Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat are pursuing free-agent guard Kevin Porter Jr., according to a report from Marc Stein and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line. The Sacramento Kings have also reportedly shown interest in the 26-year-old veteran guard. Porter became an unrestricted free agent after being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks in October.

Miami reportedly views Porter as a strong fit due to his playmaking and past chemistry with Giannis Antetokounmpo, though the Heat face financial constraints. Portland's interest was characterized as surprising due to a crowded backcourt featuring Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, and Scoot Henderson.
