The Portland Trail Blazers star revealed that he has had private discussions with the Miami Heat, but does not want to put pressure on the host team.

Only about a month left until the Portland Trail Blazers gather to prepare for the new season. However, they still have an unresolved issue: the future of Damian Lillard, who asked to leave in July.

When there was still no signal that Dame would soon leave, this star sent a signal that he only wanted to play for the Miami Heat, in order to avoid the eyes of many other clubs.

That led to the NBA issuing a memo to all 30 teams, threatening disciplinary action if Lillard or his agent knowingly failed to fulfill his contractual obligations to Portland. The news about the exchange subsided since then, before exploding again.

For the first time, Lillard publicly confirmed that she had asked to be moved to Miami. However, beyond that, Bubble MVP 2020 refuses to provide details about the future or at least the current negotiating situation.

“I’m not going to talk about the Blazers ,” Damian Lillard told ESPN. “I have so much love and respect for the team. I can say there was a trade request to the Heat, but I don’t want to say anything more about it. Trail Blazers”.

Lillard has spent his entire 11-year career with the Portland Trail Blazers, has seven All-Star appearances, seven All-NBA picks, and is on the NBA 75 roster.

The veteran also just had his best season, averaging 32.2 points, 7.3 assists, while also achieving a 37% scoring rate from more than 11 3-pointers each. battle.

The addition of a defender of Lillard’s caliber will help the Miami Heat become a force in the East in particular and the NBA in general, especially after they have reached the Finals in 2 of the last 4 Playoffs.
