Damian Lillard’s future with the Portland Trail Blazers is uncertain this offseason as they are coming off another season in which they were out of the playoff picture well before the end of the season.
Portland tried to rebuild around Lillard with veterans like Jerami Grant, but they also wanted to keep valuable young players like Shedon Sharp.
If Lillard and the Blazers decide to explore trade options, the Miami Heat are expected to be interested.
“I think the Heat is about to find another star gambit,” said Brian Windhorst on his podcast. “I would put them on Dame Lillard’s list if Dame ends up being traded. If he goes on the market, I think The Heat is on that list. I don’t know if they’ve had enough. A lot of their show will be about Tyler Hero, who just got injured. I guess, I don’t know for sure, just to be clear, I don’t know for sure if they’re going to give it to him, but I’m guessing it would be the kind of thing. This and the draft.”
