The Damian Lillard sweepstakes has become the single biggest narrative in the league in the last couple of months. However, with no progress made on that end, it seems like the Philadelphia 76ers have already closed the door on him potentially being traded to the franchise.
While the 76ers have the ammunition to make a deal work, Lillard’s camp has made it crystal clear among front offices that his preferred destination is Miami. Heck, his agent’s rumored warning to non-Heat teams about trading for the star was met with a stern injunction by Adam Silver, leaving his camp to deny ever sending out such signal to other teams.
