Damian Lillard was interested in Warriors before the Chris Paul trade
Ramona Shelburne was a guest on 95.7 The Game, where she revealed that Damian Lillard had an interest in joining the Warriors before they traded for Chris Paul. “They could have waited for Dame,” Shelburne said. “Dame is from the Bay Area. I know he was interested. If he got to the point where he was going to ask for a trade and the list was given, the Warrior would have initially been on that list. Now, it’s not possible. They could have waited.”

There is NO reason for the Blazers to rush into a trade for Lillard. Keep him until the trade deadline if necessary. There are sharks in this league circling the Trail Blazers and their shaky ownership. The key is don’t panic and make a deal because of someone else’s “deadline.” – 4:19 PM

Damian Lillard’s agent is calling potentially interested teams telling them he only wants to play for the Heat, per @wojespn (espn.com/nba/insider/in…).
Lillard would seemingly not cooperate if he doesn’t end up in Miami.
This could get ugly between Lillard and Portland as this… pic.twitter.com/3mFBwsaZIM – 9:37 AM

With all of this talk about the Heat’s offer, imagine if Damian Lillard had not made the Heat his only preferred trade destination.
Considering the narrative at the moment, the Heat probably wouldn’t have had a chance to get Lillard. – 9:18 AM

While noting there’s interest from others teams in Herro to facilitate a Lillard deal, Woj today notes: “General manager Joe Cronin doesn’t plan to operate a transfer portal to the Miami Heat and dutifully deliver history’s greatest Blazer to his targeted team.” – 9:08 AM

On July 1, Damian Lillard made his trade request and Jaylen Brown became eligible to sign a supermax deal.
Nothing has been announced on either yet.
Now why is that? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/QJufmNpG6e – 9:00 AM

Golden State Warriors PR: The Warriors have acquired 12-time NBA All-Star guard Chris Paul from the Washington Wizards in exchange for forward Patrick Baldwin Jr., guards Jordan Poole and Ryan Rollins, a 2027 second round draft pick and a 2030 first round draft pick (top 20 protected): -via Twitter @WarriorsPR / July 6, 2023

Ever since he formally requested a trade last week, Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard has made it clear he wants the front office to deal him to the Miami Heat. But what if the Blazers trade him elsewhere? “He just wouldn’t go,” a person familiar with Lillard’s thinking told Sportsnaut. “He just wouldn’t report.” -via sportsnaut.com / July 7, 2023
“I don’t think the other team would trade for him knowing that he doesn’t want to be there,” the person familiar with Lillard’s thinking told Sportsnaut. “He’s a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer so they should respect his wishes.” -via sportsnaut.com / July 7, 2023
“Portland is going to do what’s best for Portland. But if there is a negotiation, I think everybody can get what they’re looking for,” the person familiar with Lillard’s thinking told Sportsnaut. “Nobody is going to be 100% happy, but you can still get what you want. You just have to engage. I’m hopeful they will start.” -via sportsnaut.com / July 7, 2023
