Damian Lillard has put in his official trade request and multiple reports have indicated he wants to go to the Miami Heat. We know how these things tend to go. When a superstar wants to go to a particular team, even when he doesn’t have the contractual leverage to force anyone’s hand, he still almost always finds a way to that team. That said, the Blazers have to maintain some semblance of power in this prospective deal, and though initial reports on Saturday indicated they would work to accommodate Lillard’s wishes, which was to effectively say they would cooperate with the Miami agenda, they’re now reportedly saying the right things in terms of keeping their options open.

I’m tryna see what superstar they think wanna play in Portland … dnt any superstar wanna play there 🤷🏽♂️
This guy's clueless & shouldn't be talking trades. He has KL & BS going to POR but no mention of Jovic who is a perfect match for what POR's doing. MIA can throw Jaquez in too.

free dame .
Black Lives Matter…. In prison

Aaron Goodwin, Damian Lillard's agent, has gone on the record: Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard wants to be traded to the Miami Heat and nowhere else, and Goodwin has told other prospective suitors as much.
"I do what I should for my client," Goodwin told the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson. "Some teams I did call. Other teams have called me. It's a respectful relationship with most teams. Truthfully, he wants to play in Miami. Period."

This guy does not have a no trade clause. What a crybaby. I won't play there and I only want to play in Miami … booo hooo. Lillard is not going to win a title in Miami as long as Jokic and Giannis are playing in the league. Lillard is becoming another James Harden. Spoiled cry baby league.
If they can't trade him then they can cut him then sign WITH miami that way.
So what if they trade him to nets? Mikal is there his favourite player
Portland is delusional…. they will never land or be able to retain any stars from now on.
That's because We're NOT giving up our STAR For Scraps and that's all they're offering
