While a Damian Lillard trade still seems frustratingly far away, it appears that negotiations have started back up with an interesting wrinkle.
On NBA Today, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that while the Portland Trail Blazers have “intensified” talks this week, Lillard’s desired trade destination, the Miami Heat, have not been a part of those talks.
"Those talks have intensified this week with Damian Lillard, but still there's no trade imminent... So far, the one element that has not been a part of these talks are the Miami Heat."@wojespn on where things stand on a potential Dame trade.
