While some recent reports say the Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat are getting closer to compromising on the price of a Damian Lillard trade, others say the Blazers are “unmotivated to engage” with Miami in talks. Who knows what’s true and what’s not as both organizations continue to posture in public.
What’s clear is that the Heat have yet to offer the Blazers a package general manager Joe Cronin has deemed a fair enough return for an elite NBA point guard.
It seems the main sticking point comes in the form of future draft picks.
