MIAMI — As Portland tries to create a trade market for Damian Lillard that extends beyond the Heat, the agent for Lillard has advised other teams not to pursue a trade for the seven-time All Star guard because he wants to play only for Miami.
Those teams have been warned that they will be getting an unhappy player if they acquire Lillard.
“I do what I should for my client. Some teams I did call. Other teams have called me,” Lillard’s agent, Aaron Goodwin, told the Miami Herald on Thursday in his first public comments since his client asked for a trade. “It’s a respectful relationship with most teams. Truthfully, he wants to play in Miami. Period.”
