If Blazers trade Damian Lillard to team that isn't Miami, Lillard expected to ask them to trade him to Heat
If Damian Lillard is traded to a team other than Miami, he is expected to ask to be traded to the Heat. “I think there are teams that will trade for him,” Wojnarowski said. “But it’s a little bit of a negotiating crutch where you tell Portland, ‘Hey, I’m not offering you everything we might because we’re taking risk here.’ “He says he only wants to play in Miami. That kind of dulls the offers a little bit. Portland is trying to put together a number of multiteam scenarios to see if they can get the assets back they want.”

Going live soon (1:15 EST) with @wcgoldberg for the 1st time since before Game 7 on @TheGardenReport. It seems like the #Heat are going to training camp without Damian Lillard…so now what?

Continuing to discuss Damian Lillard is not an “educated take” it is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole:

– People on here are talking about Dame more than the Heat and Blazers are

Was on a podcast this afternoon that will come out over the weekend. The following trade idea was presented.
Philly gets Damian Lillard
Miami gets James Harden
Blazers get Tyrese Maxey, Nikola Jovic, and picks
How off-base is this? pic.twitter.com/pgDiUE9isA – 7:20 PM

More on this storyline
A source said this week that Portland generally has continued to be reluctant to engage the Heat in serious talks and has acted disinterested in getting a deal done quickly with Miami, though that conceivably could change as the start of training camp approaches in early October. -via Miami Herald / September 20, 2023
Barry Jackson: NEW from @Anthony_Chiang and me: Even after 2 1/2 months, Portland still acting disinterested, unmotivated in sending Lillard to Heat while looking to entice other teams. Heat waits to see if that changes. And the Bam/Porzingis dynamic to monitor: -via Twitter @flasportsbuzz / September 20, 2023
While the Portland Trail Blazers guard hopes to be dealt to the Miami Heat, that hasn’t stopped other teams from wanting to trade for him. “I’ve heard that it’s not just one team, that multiple teams in the East [called for Dame], the Raptors being one of them,” Matt Moore said on the Locked On NBA podcast. “That’s the thing nobody is really saying, but everyone around the league knows the Raptors we’re amongst the teams. They’ve kicked the tires.” -via Blazers Edge / September 20, 2023
