With a litany of speculation connecting Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard to the Heat — especially in the wake of Portland drafting guard Scoot Henderson third Thursday evening — Instagram has become ground zero for Miami’s recruitment effort.
First, Lillard took to the platform Friday night and filmed himself listening to "Miami" by Will Smith at a French nightclub — an event his agent was quick to describe as just a coincidence.
Then, Heat forward Jimmy Butler posted a telling musical snippet on his story Saturday morning — an excerpt from "Money Ball," a track from Lillard's 2019 rap album Big D.O.L.L.A. featuring Jeremih, Danny from Sobrante and Derrick Milano.
