Damian Lillard has spent with the Portland Trail Blazers the last 11 years of his life, a time in which he has become an icon for the city and the best player in franchise history. That run is all but a lock to come to an end with Lillard reportedly asking for a trade out of the Northwest.

Will the Blazers be insistent about acquiring Caleb Martin, who is entering the second-year of a team-friendly $20.6 million contract? The Heat prefers to keep Martin, according to a source. Giving up Martin would be difficult for the Heat but ultimately might be necessary. He’s due to make $6.8 million next season but can opt out of the final year of his contract, which would pay him $7.1 million in 2024-25.
