Unless surprised, Damian Lillard is about to start training camp under the colors of the Portland Trail Blazers. However, the point guard still made clear his desire to leave the Oregon franchise.
We know that the 33-year-old superstar has a preferred destination: the Miami Heat. Active on this issue, the Floridians have not managed to come to an agreement with the Blazers. And the leaders of the Heat do not intend to fall into one-upmanship.
On the contrary, according to information from ESPN journalist Adrian Wojnarowski, Miami is putting pressure on Portland.
“They want Damian Lillard. But they only want him for the minimum they have to give… They’re simply daring the Blazers to look at the market – which is what Portland is doing,” has also confirmed Wojnarowski.
This is a dangerous play by the Heat. Because as the start of the season approaches, other teams could make aggressive offers. We remember that the New York Knicks opted for the same strategy last year to Donovan Mitchell.
And the Utah Jazz finally sent him to the Cleveland Cavaliers. It remains to be seen whether the Blazers can find a more interesting deal for Damian Lillard.
