The saga surrounding Damian Lillard’s desire to be traded to the Heat continues with a fresh update from NBA insider Barry Jackson.
According to a tweet from Miami Herald’s Jackson, the Portland Trail Blazers have displayed disinterest in serious trade negotiations with the Heat, despite Lillard’s explicit request for a move to Miami.
For over a month, speculations have been rife about Lillard’s potential trade to Miami, but no deal has materialized yet. The Heat management has been hard at work, attempting to assemble a package that meets the Blazers’ expectations for the star guard. However, their efforts have been met with hesitation from the Portland side.
Adding to the complexities of the situation, Lillard’s agent has communicated to other teams that the player has no intention of suiting up for any team other than the Heat if he is traded. This declaration has amplified the pressure on the Trail Blazers to come to terms with Miami and find an agreeable deal for Lillard.
