The Miami Heat are reportedly willing to offer a steep package including three first-round picks and guard Tyler Herro to land Portland's Damian Lillard.
Damian Lillard remains firm in his desire to swap the Trail Blazers for Miami but at the moment, no agreement has been reached.
Portland would like a similar package to what the Brooklyn Nets got from the Suns for Kevin Durant, 4 first-round picks, and two very good players, a steep haul for a player who has made it clear he wants out.
Despite the fact that Lillard will turn 33 on Saturday, he remains an extremely productive player.
Lillard rules out Celtics, insists on Miami trade
During the Trail Blazers’ disappointing 2022-23 campaign, Lillard finished with per-game averages of 32.2 points, 7.3 assists and 4.8 rebounds. That scoring output over the 58 games he played in this past season marked a career-high for the guard.
The Trail Blazers have the upper hand in any trade negotiations since they aren’t required to trade Lillard, despite his request, so the Heat may eventually have to bow to the demands to get their man.
