Damian Lillard trade talks to pick up once camp gets closer?
The Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat have reportedly had very little dialogue on a Damian Lillard trade despite his trade request coming on July 1st. The expectation among those close to the situation is that talks could pick up once training camp gets closer. The Blazers have not been in a rush to deal Lillard as they hope for an improved offer, but bringing him into camp and potentially the preseason is viewed by some as a risk.

For anyone asking me if Heat is getting Lillard or Dolphins are getting Taylor, my answer is now the same: The Miami teams want those players. It likely comes down entirely to whether Portland and Indy lower their expectations in terms of what they’re demanding. So TBD, a toss-up – 1:33 PM

Dolphins, Colts discuss Jonathan Taylor trade; Dolphins are interested. The unknown, as with Lillard/Blazers, is whether Miami or any team is willing to meet Colts’ high demands either before next Tuesday’s 53-man roster deadline or Oct. 31 trade deadline miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 1:25 PM

Speaking on the Podcast P with Paul George presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment, the Pacers star shared a story about Edwards’ hilarious reaction to Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard’s decision to pull up from beyond center court during the dying moments of the 2023 NBA All-Star Game. “Remember Dame and Donovan just kept shooting from half court [back in the All-Star game]? Me and Ant [were] sitting on the bench […] but Dame pulled up from probably three steps behind the logo. Ant looked at me, ‘He shot that b**ch from Yucatan’. I said, ‘Yucatan? What did you just say?’ He’s like, ‘Yucatan’. I said, ‘Is that a real place?’ He’s like, ‘Nah, that’s how far that b**ch was,’” Haliburton recalled, much to the laughter of Paul George and everybody else on the podcast crew. -via Clutch Points / August 23, 2023
