It seems like a matter of when, not if when it comes to disgruntled Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard’s inevitable trade to the Miami Heat.
The 33-year-old point guard and seven-time All-Star has had a standing trade request in place since the start of July, with the Heat standing as his targeted destination as he looks to move on from Portland.
Lillard’s fixation on the Heat is so strong that the NBA had to send a memo to all 30 teams after Lillard’s representatives reportedly told interested teams that he was only interested in approving a trade to Miami.
