Damian Lillard Reportedly Pre-Approved Bucks, Nets Destinations

Damian Lillard reportedly approved a trade to the Milwaukee Bucks or Brooklyn Nets ten days ago, after the Portland Trail Blazers’ negotiations with the Miami Heat remained at a standstill for most of the summer. Lillard had originally, and semi-publicly, stated that the Heat were his only preferred destination after requesting a trade on the first of July. Lillard’s agent, Aaron Goodwin—earlier censured by the NBA for allegedly stalling talks of alternate trade destinations—supposedly let the Bucks and Nets know that the star point guard would be interested in playing for them.
