The Miami Heat are reportedly working to acquire both Andre Iguodala and Danilo Gallinari before Thursday's trade deadline.

After the Heat and Grizzlies reportedly agreed on a trade that involved Iguodala and Justise Winslow, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Oklahoma City may be added to the deal. The teams are working on a three-team transaction that would send Gallinari to Miami along with Iguodala, according to Wojnarowski.

To make the deal work, Miami may have to release protections on a 2023 first-round pick the Heat owe the Thunder, per Wojnarowski. Iguodala has reportedly already agreed to a two-year contract extension with Miami.
