Although the NBA season is just about a month away, a major potential move remains up in the air as Damian Lillard is still on the Blazers despite requesting a trade. The point guard prefers to play for the Heat, but Miami and Portland haven’t been able to find common ground on a deal.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that, while the Heat are the biggest suitor for Lillard, Miami doesn’t want to give up more than necessary even though Portland isn’t satisfied with the offer.
“They want Damian Lillard, they just want him for as little as they’re going to have to give up and they’re essentially daring Portland to go out into the marketplace, which Portland is doing, and see if they could find better,” Wojnarowski said on ESPN.
