As the 2023–24 NBA season approaches with training camps just around the corner, there are a few high-profile situations that still have no timeline or clarity on how they’ll play out. Among them is the ongoing discussion over a potential Damian Lillard trade, which has linked the Trail Blazers and Heat for months now.
While Portland and Miami don’t appear to have taken significant steps forward in discussions thus far, the Heat remains the favorite to acquire Lillard via trade, though the timeline is very much up in the air. Although Lillard has typically remained quiet throughout trade talks and swirling rumors, specifically when it comes to any public comments, the seven-time NBA All-Star did address his “perfect world” scenario on the It Is What It Is Show.
