The Miami Heat were linked to a Damian Lillard pursuit many times in the past. Now they might actually have a chance to land him.

On Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reported that the Milwaukee Bucks are waiving Lillard, buying out the rest of the $113 million that the star was owed. Shortly after, it would be noted that Miami is “expected to have interest” in the 34-year-old, according to Tim Reynolds of The Associated Press.

One of the most shocking news of free agency was the Milwaukee Bucks waiving Damian Lillard despite two years remaining on his expensive contract.
