The Miami Heat rumors are bubbling up again. The Washington Wizards’ Antawn Jamison has been spotted at both preseason games thus far.
After the Miami Heat were left standing at the alter when it came to the Russell Westbrook sweepstakes, Miami Heat rumors seemed to all point in the direction of Chris Paul. This was the case because Chris Paul was the major piece that the Houston Rockets sent back as a part of that deal to secure the services of Westbrook from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
While it seems from afar that the Miami Heat at least entertained the notion of possibly acquiring Chris Paul, when details started to emerge of what the Thunder wanted back, were willing to give up, or wouldn’t budge on, those talks all but dissipated for the most part. What bubbled to the top in its place, a sudden interest and intrigue surrounding the Washington Wizard’s Bradley Beal.
While that deal never materialized, for a myriad of reasons, the Miami Heat haven’t ceased in their effort to try to land another star to pair alongside Jimmy Butler. While the Miami Heat’s short preseason thus far would lead you to believe that they could be alright if they continued to let what they have gel and get better, who can argue with bringing in another superstar type talent? It seems that the Miami Heat aren’t ones to argue, but this next tweet from Greg Sylvander of the Miami Heat Beat and Five Reasons Sports Network all but proves it.
Wizards Director of Player Personnel Antawn Jamison is here in Charlotte tonight.

Wonder why?
Even more tantalizing to the taste buds and fandom of the Miami Heat Faithful, this wasn’t the first appearance by the Washington Wizards’ personnel executive at a Miami Heat exhibition. According to this tweet in response to Sylvander’s tweet from Miami based reporter of the Five Reasons Sports Network, Ethan Skolnick, Jamison was present for the Heat’s very first preseason game on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs.
Was in Miami last night too. But I wouldn’t read too much into it

Very interesting, very interesting indeed. While Skolnick says not to “read too much into it”, we will speculate. Could this be to check out the goods?
Hopefully, it is, in order to see what they might be looking to get back in a potential Bradley Beal trade. We can only wait and cross our fingers, but things have gotten really interesting, very early in the season. Make it happen Riles, as long as you don’t consider moving our Herro!
