MIAMI — For all the singular focus at this stage of NBA free agency, the possibility of a Damian Lillard trade is not a one-man proposition.
In fact, amid the desires of the seven-time All-Star to relocate from the Portland Trail Blazers, with a preference of the Miami Heat as his landing spot, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the fates and fortunes of several other players could come into play before a resolution.
Among them, the Heat’s Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry, Duncan Robinson and Caleb Martin, as well as perhaps the Trail Blazers’ Jusuf Nurkic, the Brooklyn Nets’ Ben Simmons and perhaps even the Philadelphia 76ers’ James Harden.
