The NBA is waiting on a Damian Lillard trade, but according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, there’s reason to believe a deal might take weeks—if not months—to materialize.
At long last, Lillard is ready to move on from the Trail Blazers, the only team he’s played for during his NBA career, after the club’s recent struggles. Lillard has also made it clear that he wants to play for the Heat, fresh off of their run to the NBA Finals, and Miami appears to be the only strong bidder for the seven-time All-Star.
As a result, things are at a standstill between the two sides, and the NBA calendar isn’t putting a lot of pressure on either Portland or Miami to proceed, Wojnarowski explained during an appearance on NBA Today Friday.
