The Miami Heat are the favorites to be the next destination for Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, who requested a trade this offseason. However, it is not guaranteed that the Heat will be able to land him. They might want to search the market for a plan B.
Bleacher Report proposed an alternative to targeting Lillard. Instead, they proposed a trade in which the Heat would acquire an All-Star forward who had a breakout season last year.
The trade is as follows:
Miami Heat Receive: Lauri Markkanen
Utah Jazz Receive: Jaime Jaquez Jr.
