Damian Lillard has made it very clear he wants to play for the Miami Heat. The NBA would prefer he be a little less clear.
The league issued a memo to all 30 teams Friday saying it had interviewed the Portland Trail Blazers star and his agent Aaron Goodwin about past public comments from Goodwin saying Lillard would only play for the Heat.
The memo, obtained by Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer, said Goodwin denied a report that he had warned other teams against trading for Lillard because he wanted to land with the Heat and that he and Lillard both affirmed the player would suit up for any team that trades for him.
