Damian Lillard Could Face Discipline For Desiring Heat Trade?
9 months agoPortland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard seems to have drawn the NBA's ire for his specific trade request to the Miami Heat. Shams Charania reports that the league has "advised both Lillard and Goodwin [Lillard's agent] that any future comments of the sort as far as him wanting to only play in Miami will potentially subject him to discipline". The NBA has also issued a league-wide memo pertaining to this type of matter. Lillard's agent has reportedly denied informing other teams that his client is only willing to play for the Heat. It's another layer of drama to add to this long-running saga, which began nearly a month ago. The negotiations between Portland and Miami in regard to Lillard's trade request seem to remain in a stalemate at this time.
