NBA free agency might be coming to a close soon, but there are still huge unanswered questions remaining. The biggest one is perhaps Damian Lillard’s next destination. The Portland Trail Blazers star seems destined to go to Miami, but reports indicate that the Blazers and the Heat will need a third team to facilitate the trade. The Washington Wizards may look like a prime candidate but they should stay away from getting involved.
Since Lillard’s preferred destination is the Miami Heat, Portland is trying to get a deal done with them. The main complication for the trade is the salary matching due to Lillard’s 2023-24 salary of $45.
