Having traveled same Heat path Damian Lillard is pursuing, Gary Payton says, ‘He will be a great fit here’

MIAMI — The story of a long-time NBA veteran point guard out of Oakland seeking an NBA championship with the Miami Heat while on the back end of his career in his 30s is not unique to Damian Lillard. It is a story, in fact, previously written. By Gary Payton, In 2006. Payton, now a coach with the halfcourt Big3 circuit, was back in Miami on Sunday as part of the league’s tour, working the officials at Kaseya Center with the same vigor seen before and during that 2005-06 championship season with the Heat. And, yes, as is the case with Lillard, Payton is all in on Lillard’s desire to relocate...

MIAMI — Luis Arraez singled home the winning run with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and the Miami Marlins ended an eight-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.

It’s been a long time since we won.” Arraez connected on a 1-1...

Despite solid outing by Cueto, Marlins’ bullpen collapses to send Miami to eighth straight loss

MIAMI — After Colorado mounted a late comeback win against the Miami Marlins on Saturday, right-hander Justin Lawrence credited the success of the bullpen for helping the Rockies win five of seven games since the All-Star break. Lawrence worked a scoreless ninth inning for his seventh save and was part of a bullpen effort that helped the Rockies rally from an early three-run deficit to beat the Marlins 4-3, handing Miami its season-high eighth straight loss. “Young guys to old guys, we’re all going out there in whatever role we’re given, and we’re running with it,” Lawrence said. “It’s just...

Orlando Robinson again dominant, as Heat down Blazers 104-78 to close out summer league

For weeks, when the Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers were mentioned in the same sentence, that sentence invariably also included the name of Damian Lillard. Sunday night was the exception. With the teams meeting in their final game at the NBA2K24 Summer League in Las Vegas, the focus instead was on the youth of each team, not the 33-year-old All-Star guard who has lobbied for a trade from the Blazers to the Heat. That let the Heat’s neophytes show that while the team chases elite veteran talent, there also is something to be said about the youth in the pipeline. With 2022-23 rookies Orlando...
