> After no contact with Heat for weeks, Blazers are now taking Lillard conversations seriously. Heat has patiently waited, knowing Lillard trade is clear avenue to take them to another level.
> When or whether they’ll strike a deal? We’ll see. But Portland seems more eager for resolution before camp if their wishes can be satisfied. And to all a good night.

Seems likely that this thing finally occurs over the next couple of days. It’s kind of similar to the whole Aaron Rodgers and Jets situation where it’s a “when not if” type of situation.
It’s nice that Barry is back to his Heat bias. The tweet he quoted was someone aggregating an article that talks about how a lot of teams have become a lot more active over the last days, but the aggregator just so happens to leave out the Raptors, Bulls and 76ers because you know that doesn’t fit their narrative
please god just make this happen or not. we got dame liking goodbye pdx tweets n shit already. i can handle it not dropping now, but it better be done by the time i wake up tomorrow morning.
Update: no update
If it is really happening it seems like a 4 team trade, Heat Blazer Sun not sure which 4th team in involved (my guess is raptor), so herro to raptor, nurk ayton swap, dame to heat, and fill in the filler contracts? salary wise a 4 team trade is doable, wonder how many draft picks ended up going to blazer.
Or you know “Miami has no asset! we are sending dame to raptors!” Dear blazer fans plz dont hate other teams, hate blazer fo for fucking this whole thing up in the first place.
Interesting how that was worded….
Patiently waited, aka spreading rumors the whole offseason that Dame wouldn’t suit up anywhere else
Lol. so aggressive.
Great way to start the weekend lol
Something something where did it lead you? Back to me.
Does it take them up another level though? What will they have to give up?
At this point I just want it to happen, just something, I can’t anymore!
Poor MIA.
They are such delicate little flowers down there in southern Florida.
“Bless their hearts”. 🙂
My trolling is gonna know no boundaries if the Heat get bounced in the first round after all this
Still don’t see how this takes them to the next level.
Heat HAVE patiently waited.
A 35-year veteran journalist doesn’t know the difference between has and have. That’s astounding.
(‘heat’ as a common noun is singular and would use is/has — Heat here is describing an organization full of people. “Heat has patiently waited” SHOULD sound as ridiculous to your brain as if he said “Blazers has patiently waited.”)
Heat will regret this
“Another level” not sure what level that is but we’ll see.
