The Heat are interested in signing Lillard and Bill, who was bought out by the Suns, but which team is not?

According to Marc Stein, a reporter from the American media TheSteinLine, the Miami Heat have shown strong interest in signing Bradley Beal and Damian Lillard. Of course, the premise for the Heat to sign Bill is that he completes a buyout with the Phoenix Suns who he currently plays for.

Stein said: The Heat are currently actively pursuing Lillard and are also evaluating the possibility of signing Bill who may be bought out. But it is worth thinking about why Lillard is eager to sign with any team at this stage unless he needs the support of the team system during his recovery from the Achilles tendon rupture injury? Our senior journalist Chris Haynes also revealed a news late Thursday that although Lillard has received strong pursuits from the Heat and several other teams, he is obviously not in a hurry to decide where he will go at this stage.

In the NBA regular season last season, Bill played 53 games in 82 games, averaging 32.1 minutes per game, averaging 17 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 49.7%, three-point shooting percentage 38.6%, and free throw shooting percentage 80.3%. In the NBA regular season last season, Lillard played 58 games in 82 games, averaging 36.1 minutes per game, averaging 24.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.2 blocks, and 2.8 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 37.6%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 92.1%. In the playoffs, Lillard played 3 games in total, with averaging 24.9 minutes per game, averaging 7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks, and a turnover and 2.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 22.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 18.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 85.7%.

In fact, it should not be just the Heat. Most teams in the league that want to achieve good results should be interested in Bill and Lillard after being bought out. Bill and Lillard with the maximum salary may indeed be ignored. Their salary and performance are obviously not proportional, but Bill and Lillard with the full middle class or even lower contracts are so fragrant that they cannot be more fragrant. Therefore, all the key points are not whether the Heat are interested in Bill and Lillard, but which teams Bill and Lillard will be interested in, and what quotations these teams will provide to Bill and Lillard. So let's take a look at what will happen to Bill and Lillard.
