The Heat are still in on Kyle Lowry, however the deal Kyle is looking for is in the range of $90 Million over 3 years.
I personally think that the 3rd year has to be fully guarunteed. Some on the Heat are confident but I still wouldn't count out Philly or LA
The Lakers and Sixers are still pitching hard for Lowry, and he would be a perfect fit on either of those rosters as well. The problem the Heat face, is that they likely couldn't muster up $30 million in available funds under the cap, and would have to look at a sign-and-trade. And stop me if you've heard this one before:

Yes, just as the situation unfolded at the trade deadline in March, the Heat are not keen on trading Tyler Herro in a deal to acquire Lowry. In this year's playoffs, Lowry could have made a difference for Miami... How will they proceed with that knowledge under their belt?
