Heat Currently Have “No Traction” On Damian Lillard Trade
9 months agoThe Miami Heat are reportedly assembling a trade proposal for Portland Trail Blazers superstar point guard Damian Lillard. Shams Charania of The Athletic writes that the package would include "expiring deals, three to four first-round picks and one of the team's younger players". The framework of the potential offer would also feature "Tyler Herro going to a third team" with possible "second-rounders and draft pick swaps". While Miami prepares their haul in an effort to acquire Lillard, sources also indicate there is still "no real traction on any kind of a deal". The cause for the snag in negotiations is likely due to Portland's previously-reported lack of interest in Herro. The ability to find a third team as an alternative suitor for Herro's services perhaps remains the key for fulfilling a swap here.
