Damian Lillard Has ‘Serious Interest’ in Joining Miami Heat. Will the Trail Blazers Trade Him?



Wes Goldberg and David Ramil of Locked On Heat join the show to discuss all angles of Lillard’s future, the Heat’s best offer vs the Nets’ best offer and predict what happens next.

Some new reporting on the Damian Lillard front. On Monday morning, The Athletic’s Sam Amick reported that Lillard “has serious interest in joining the Heat” if the Trail Blazers can’t upgrade the roster. Then later in the afternoon, TNT’s Chris Haynes reported that Lillard and his agent Aaron Goodwin are meeting with the Blazers on Monday to discuss the franchise’s direction. Will Lillard end up in Miami?

  1. The Heat gents seem a little disconnected. Nurk won’t be made into some kind of defensive stud, and offensively he doesn’t need development…he is what he is. Great ball screener, good passer, and a big body on defense that won’t stop anyone but grabs a ton of boards.
    Yes, Portland may want to ship him just to get rid of him, but they have to get a center somewhere. That’s job #1, and this doesn’t get them there.
    Portland doesn’t want anything from Miami that’s ever going to be on the table, especially in exchange for their franchise cornerstone. Nothing here really makes sense.

  2. SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH. Dame is going to end up one of the most misunderstood athletes in my generation. Dude doesn't want to super team. Just wants a chance. That's it. Modern NBA Construction. Just get one more tall player and we good.

  3. The Locked On Network is solid, and I haven't seen a better host than Richman on any of the shows. Keep it up Mike. I do like the crossovers, though.

  4. Are you jank yard Sport journalist HEAVILY CAMPAIGNING DAMIAN PORTLAND TRAILBLAZER TO TRADED TO MAIM WHY ONLY HEAT, they have no Asset to compensate TRAILBLAZER UNLESS YOU PUT THREE OR FOUR TEAM INVOLVED!!
    Damian needs to SHUT THIS STUPD TALK OF DAMIAN TRADE!!! Some Journalists like to see Trailblazer should disappear from NBA and promoting their hidden agenda.
    DAMIAN IS A MAN OF PRINCIPLE LIKE IT OR NOT HE IS UNDER CONTRACT UNTIL 2027. He is Committed and Determined staying as Portland Trailblazer. SO PLEASE STOP YOUR NONSENSE DREAMS!!! No matter what you Maim Heat agents want badly Damian with public and media pressure if you think Trailblazer Office could not handle the pressure and give up DAMIAN
    EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!!

  5. Lol, Herro is going to be a multi time AS? Heat people crazy on him lile Blazers crazy on Ant. Plus, Blazers have Ant they have no use for Herro

  6. We need to stop talking about Miami 1st-round picks like they are just like any other 1st-round picks, because they're not. Miami 1st-round picks are virtually guaranteed to be mid to late 1st-round picks since Miami almost never has bad seasons. The idea that we could trade Dame and not get a single lottery pick in return is stomach churning.

    Brooklyn 1st-round picks are soooooo much better than Miami 1st-round picks.

  7. They completely misinterpreted Chris Haynes quotes which is understandable because Chris said it during a podcast which means that it is easy to read wrong without the whole quote. Chris's comment was about Dame not expecting the team that he plays for to have 2 or 3 other all-stars. He just wants to be in the playoffs competing. It was a quote that more supported him staying in PDX if they made a few moves or going to Brooklyn if they make a couple other moves. It actually was a quote that could be taking as more of an anti-miami trade although I think he would prefer the more blue collar all-stars in Miami to teaming up in LA or Boston.

  8. Interesting conversation, and it's fascinating to hear stuff like, "Herro is a future multi-time all-star" and "Nurk is one of the worst contracts in the league".

    Nurk is better than Naz Reid, and Reid is only getting paid a bit less than Nurk.

  9. The first 5 minutes of this didn't are well. Turns out it wasn’t bad news. Such ambiguity. Its crazy.

  10. Thanks for the content guys! This is a touchy subject and I mean no disrespect to you and heat fans but there is no way you have enough to get Dame from us.

    My Guess is behind the scenes you are mocking us…. “Riley is going to take Cronins lunch money” or similar. Dame is under contract and he is not going to sit out. Whatever we do… the worst is he stays here and isn’t happy. He will still play his ass off because that is how he rolls.

    Let me propose you a trade….. Bam for Nurk,Simons and 3 first round picks……. How does it feel now? If Dame can talk Bam into asking for a trade that puts pressure on Riley. Ant is better than Herro and can run point! Nurk is a beast if he can get his head right and has a grudge to settle with Denver. Let’s see how tight Bam and Dame really are.

  11. I'm a heat fan. I do not care about this dame issue. I want them to go out, and get a good four, and his backup. Every year the same thing.

    It seems like every year they're in the same stupid position.

  12. Kind of Tired of so called "Blszer fans" reporters having NO Faith in Portland to go get Dray. Green, or KAT, Or D. Powell,. Middleton,… somebody who Does move the needle upwards!!!

    if u want to be a cynic, like the rest of the wotld, then Stop covering the blazers & go find a team u believe in & WANT to succeed! ;

  13. Blazers don’t need Herro. Herro isn’t even that good on the Blazers which have a lot of young guards already

  14. Man this sounds so dumb listening to these guys talk about trading dame for nothing. Herro and Martin is not “gutting” your team and that offer sucks anyways. What are we even talking about man?

  15. Ngl idk how you let them talk about nurkic like that. He is very far away from being the worst contract in the league and is not a player that needs to be salvaged. Nurk’s issue is tht he’s inconsistent otherwise hes a top 10-12 center in the league and would easily be the best center off the in the league if he played in Miami. There is 0 added value in the Miami trade by them taking on nurks contract

  16. While I don’t want Dame to leave, if I’m Cronin, I’m calling up Brooklyn and demanding those Phoenix and Dallas picks + filler contracts. I’d take that package over Miami’s any day of the week
