Throughout the summer, Damian Lillard reportedly made it known that he wanted the Blazers to trade him to the Heat. However, Miami and Portland couldn’t come to an agreement, resulting in the Blazers trading Lillard to the Bucks on Wednesday.
While Miami failed to land the point guard, Lillard’s camp does not blame the Heat for the result. In fact, Lillard’s agent Aaron Goodwin said he appreciated how president Pat Riley and the Miami organization approached negotiations.
“They did everything they could to acquire Dame,” Goodwin said, via Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald. “It takes two to get a deal done. I appreciate all that Pat, Andy and Micky did to try and make this happen.”
