As reported by the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson, the Heat are eyeing Damian Lillard, who the Milwaukee Bucks waived in an unexpected move. Now, this isn't the first time that the Heat have been linked to Lillard before, but unlike last time, he is a bit of a special case.

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.

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.
