Damian Lillard Trade Talks Likely To Escalate Again Soon
8 months agoThe Athletic's Shams Charania expects the Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat to re-engage before the start of training camp in trade talks for guard Damian Lillard. The 33-year-old Lillard's intentions have long been clear: he desires to be shipped to the Heat. Prior reports have indicated that the focal point of Miami's package features Tyler Herro, however, and Portland has exhibited reluctance in accepting him as the key acquisition of a potential deal. Charania believes Lillard would not even report to camp if traded elsewhere from South Beach, but suggests he would show up for the Blazers if he stays put. There certainly seems to be some risk involved with spending a first-round pick on Lillard in fantasy drafts right now, at least until this long-running saga reaches its finale.
