After much speculation, Damian Lillard has finally requested a trade from the Portland Trail Blazers. The Miami Heat, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Philadelphia 76ers are reported to be top suitors for the superstar guard, but the Heat have the clear advantage at the moment. There is mutual interest between the Heat and Lillard, and Portland seems willing to do right by their franchise star.
This is great news for the Heat. They could be adding an elite scorer who could be the number one offensive option for the team. This will certainly provide some relief for Jimmy Butler, who can remain an elite all-around threat.
