Damian Lillard trade likely to take a little while to put together?
Jon Krawczynski: So if the Blazers are gonna go totally rebuild, they have to get young pieces and they have to get draft picks in Miami doesn’t have a whole lot of either of those to offer right now. And so the pursuit is on to find some other teams to jump in and allow them to do that. But I think it’s going to take some time. I don’t get the sense out here, doesn’t feel like there’s something imminent right now. This might take a little while to put together.

There is NO reason for the Blazers to rush into a trade for Lillard. Keep him until the trade deadline if necessary. There are sharks in this league circling the Trail Blazers and their shaky ownership. The key is don’t panic and make a deal because of someone else’s “deadline.” – 4:19 PM

Oladipo trade being completed is notable, because it takes away a potential $10M salary to use as match a three-way Lillard trade. – 2:56 PM

Agent’s implication: An unhappy Damian Lillard = an unprofessional Damian Lillard, if any of 29 teams OTHER than Miami has him on its roster for 2023-24.
That’s a whole new realm for a player heretofore lauded for his character, competitiveness and disinterest in chasing a ring. – 2:30 PM

At this point, I’m not sure how it could be made clearer: Damian Lillard wants to be traded to the Heat and nowhere else.
Obviously, that kills the Trail Blazers’ leverage. But that’s just the reality right now. – 2:28 PM

The NBA has a mechanism for players to pick their own teams. It’s called free agency.
If Damian Lillard wanted to pick his own team he had opportunities to get himself to free agency. He never did. I’m therefore not especially sympathetic to his desire to pick his own team. – 1:05 PM

Not that Woj needs confirming, but I can confirm, through a league source, that other teams have been discouraged by Lillard camp from making trade offers for Lillard. Some teams have called Lillard camp to inquire. Message the same: Lillard remains absolutely insistent on Heat. – 12:58 PM

More on this storyline
Jon Krawczynski: So the scuttlebutt out here, it seems to be when you talk to, you know, I’ve talked to a bunch of agents have talked to several executives with other teams, and it’s what everyone is talking about. And there just seems to be an overall belief that eventually at some point, Miami will find a way to get the pieces together to get Damian Lillard there. -via Apple Podcasts / July 9, 2023
Jon Krawczynski: The Heat front office’s very resourceful, very good. They understand right now I believe that they do not have enough to just do a one-to-one Heat-Blazers trade to get Damian Lillard and entice the Blazers to part with the best player they’ve ever had. So right now, it seems like the efforts are to find a third team, find a fourth team, whatever, and construct some sort of monster sort of trade package with parts and players going all over the place to allow Damian Lillard to end up in Miami and to get the Blazers enough young players and draft assets to justify moving off of the team, you know, the franchise icon and sort of shifting into this rebuilding mode around Scoot Henderson, around Shaedon Sharp are on some of their really nice young pieces. -via Apple Podcasts / July 9, 2023
Alex Kennedy: Wait, you can bet on which reporter is going to break the Damian Lillard trade news?! This is so weird. 😂 -via Twitter @AlexKennedyNBA / July 8, 2023
