The fate of star Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard has been one of basketball’s primary storylines this offseason, as a slew of reports have indicated the seven-time All-Star is eager to join the Heat.
However, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the playing field may have changed in the race to acquire the future Hall of Famer.
Wojnarowski indicated on Friday afternoon’s episode of NBA Today that although no deal is imminent, the Lillard trade discussions have intensified—and do not include Miami, the defending Eastern Conference champion.
