It’s been a month since Damian Lillard asked the Portland Trail Blazers to be traded to the Miami Heat. Despite a series of updates, including an NBA-memo cautioning Lillard and his management from dissuading non-Miami teams trading for him, nothing has changed in the past 31 days.
ESPN’s Wojnarowski told NBA Today part of the stalemate was the size of Lillard’s contract, which is set to top $63 million in his 36-year-old season. Wojnarowski also highlighted differences between Lillard’s trade request and Anthony Davis quest to join the Los Angeles Lakers from the New Orleans Pelicans in 2019.
