Damian Lillard’s resounding trade request out of Portland is undeniably one of, if not the biggest storyline in the offseason. And while the superstar guard has made his preferred destination as clear as day, the Philadelphia 76ers certainly tout a tremendous selling point for his services as a potential landing spot.
The Trail Blazers and the Heat, whom Lillard has repeatedly interjected as his target, are currently at a standstill. Portland is justifiably asking for a fortune for the All-Star, which is still tied down to four more years under his current deal. However, Miami has yet to meet such asking price, not wanting to bid against themselves with Lillard not showing enthusiasm on any other destination so far.
