A Heat official mentioned several teams have expressed an interest in Udonis Haslem if Miami drafts and keeps Michael Beasley, which remains a strong possibility.

Sacramento has not ruled out trading point guard Mike Bibby, and now views the Heat as a possible partner if it does, an NBA official said. The Heat would have given up Jason Williams, however whether Miami would move Udonis Haslem in such a deal is questionable.
