No matter what else happens this summer for the Portland Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard will remain the central topic until the day he’s traded. He’s stated a firm desire to join the Miami Heat. The Blazers have expressed and equally firm desire to get a good return for him, regardless. Who has the leverage in this situation and how might it be used? That’s the subject of today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
Dave,
Why is everybody talking like Dame has the power? Don’t the Blazers hold his contract still? They don’t have to trade him until 2026 if they don’t want to.
