As slow as things may be going between the two sides, the Miami Heat are still the leaders in the clubhouse to land a trade for Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers.
Miami remains the only team to make an official offer for the seven-time All-Star since his trade request back on July 1. And while it doesn't seem that Portland is too content with the current package, the Heat is not willing to start bidding against itself to get the deal done, according to a report by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowksi on NBA Today.
"Certainly, Miami remains the team most motivated, that has enough assets to eventually perhaps outbid the market," Wojnarowski said.
