Damian Lillard created quite the stir last week when he mentioned the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets as possible trade destinations should he and the Portland Trail Blazers ever part ways. The declaration evoked responses from teammates past and present. It also created quite a stir in the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
The most common question was whether this means a Lillard trade is more likely. The simple answer to that is, “No.” Lillard said in that same interview that he expects to remain in Portland for the start of the season.
