I tell you now — 100% — Damian Lillard will be in the Heat.
Since Damian Lillard submitted a trade request to the Portland Trail Blazers last week, he and his camp have made it clear they want to go to the Miami Heat. that’s all miami heat. But what if Portland did the ultimate disrespect and traded him somewhere else?
“He just didn’t go,” said the source who passed on the information. sports notebook. “He didn’t report.”
A SportsNote source said Lillard stressed he was “not a disruptor” and hoped to fulfill his contract in the 2023-24 season. But despite signing his no-trade clause-free, two-year, $122 million contract extension (until 2026-27), Lillard won’t let the Trail Blazers heat him to honor his credit. hoping to trade to Portland.
What if Portland traded Damian Lillard to another team instead of Miami? “He just doesn’t report,” said a person familiar with Lillard’s thinking. Portland, on the other hand, will wait until next season’s trade deadline for a proper deal.via @sports notebook https://t.co/ZcQHoczQqg

All of these reports pointing Damian Lillard to Miami (such as Mark Medina’s) are absolutely accurate. Anything else is false information.
He said in a recent blog that the move from Damian Lillard to Boston didn’t materialize, despite all the fuss about the possibility due to the Grant Williams sign-and-trade, but literally a day later. It became clear.celtics was not mixed As for “Ice Cold”, as I said at the beginning. That’s because I’m saying now that Damian Lillard is coming to South Beach.
Lillard and agent Aaron Goodwin are doing everything in their power to get to the Heat, and in terms of public relations and respect for Dame, the Blazers will honor his request. Even if they relentlessly traded him to somewhere other than Miami, it would completely backfire for the Blazers. Haha… I bet players don’t want to play in Portland right now, wait until then. The Trail Blazers don’t want these problems. (Related: ‘Let Me Annihilate You’: Skip Bayless calls out Charles Barkley and challenges him to be the new ‘undisputed’ co-host)
“Damian Lillard to Miami” is essentially over…all that’s left is negotiating the right trade package.
If I get this right, don’t forget to give me flowers. I’ll be sure to shake the receipt.
