the Blazer It seems to have no shortage of suitors when it comes to possible Damien Lillard Trade, to the potential dismay of heat.
While Miami remains the favorite to land Lillard, largely due to his preference to land in South Beach, the recent round of teams showing interest in his services makes for an intriguing combination. like Chris Haynes from Turner Sports As reported on the “#thisleague UNCUT” podcast with NBA reporter Mark Stein, four teams (excluding the Heat) have already arrived in Portland trying to gauge what it might take to get Lillard.

Haynes has stated strongly that for Lillard, the focus remains on Miami. It’s unlikely that the Blazers superstar would agree to a deal for a team other than the Heat, at least as things currently stand. Although Lillard does not have a no-trade clause in his contract, it is reasonable to assume that the trading partner wants his consent before entering into a potential trade.
