Heat Unwilling To Trade Youth In Damian Lillard Talks?
10 months agoThe Miami Heat have reportedly expressed reluctance in including some of their young players in trade talks surrounding Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard. Sam Amick of the Athletic reports that "the idea of losing key contributors like Caleb Martin, or young talents like Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez Jr. would only limit their title-contending prospects". Miami's hesitance in this regard has caused discussions involving Lillard to stall a bit. If the Heat are serious about acquiring the superstar's services in a swap without featuring Jimmy Butler or Bam Adebayo, they may be hard-pressed to retain their preferred role players.
