The Heat -- this is no surprise -- are expected to have interest in Damian Lillard, who very surprisingly now holds a lot of cards he didn't expect to hold.

Heat has not called Lillard as of 12:25 EST, but Miami is expected to pursue

The Miami Heat are a team to look out for as Damian Lillard enters his first free agency, per Chris Haynes 👀

As my colleague Anthony (and Ethan) just noted, Heat is no longer expecting to re-sign Duncan, per source. That would leave Miami with 14 M under tax line to add a 15th player (or multiple players if make trade).

👀

Miami Heat have a full 15 man roster by sign and trading Duncan Robinson for Simone Fontecchio. They are $5.5 million below the luxury tax and now hard capped to the $207.8 million second apron. They also create a $6.9 million trade exception.

Just left the liquor store … going live with Miami Heat Beat around 8:30 and I have thoughts. Might wanna tune in … youtube.com/@miamiheatbeat…

The Heat deserve to be the laughing stock of the NBA. Bill Simmons is right. They’re the Kings East.

NOT EVEN ONE SECOND-ROUND PICK BACK???

NEW: Everybody (understandably so) wants to know what the Heat plan is to become championship material again. Well, they have a plan, and here's what it is: miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… Insight on their blueprint and assorted other issues we've been asked about

I guess a 55-point beatdown at home in the playoffs wasn’t enough of a sample size, according to Barry Jackson’s sources

Should’ve traded all of these bums for KD

Now that the cat is out of the bag, Beal was the player I was referencing last night when people started pleading for details I wasn't authorized to offer yet. He's still "interesting" because he shot a very impressive 49.7 percent (38.6 on threes) while averaging 17 ppg. But

Max player Beal with NTC? Bad contract. MLE Beal? Great contract.

Tbh, signing Beal for short money and dealing Tyler would be one of the most forward thinking moves the franchise has made in some time.
