Blazers aggressively trying to set up multi-team trade scenarios for Damian Lillard
The Blazers have begun exploring scenarios beyond the Heat. “Portland is trying to put together a number of multi-team scenarios to see they can get the assets back in a trade for Damian Lillard,” said Adrian Wojnarowski. “They have been aggressive here in the last weeks… only because the league started up again. Labor Day comes, teams are engaging again. I do think they’re engaging. The question is do they find a deal in the next couple of weeks or do they have to bring Damian Lillard back to camp?”

Regarding the #Bulls-Lillard rumors, don’t get your hopes up. If Lillard had 2 years left on his deal, maybe you think about offering LaVine and seeing what happens.
But Lillard has 4 yrs left, same as LaVine, & is owed $38 million more than LaVine, including $63.2 mil in ’26-27 – 8:25 PM

Going live soon (1:15 EST) with @wcgoldberg for the 1st time since before Game 7 on @TheGardenReport. It seems like the #Heat are going to training camp without Damian Lillard…so now what?

Continuing to discuss Damian Lillard is not an “educated take” it is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole:

NEW from @Anthony_Chiang and me: Even after 2 1/2 months, Portland still acting disinterested, unmotivated in sending Lillard to Heat while looking to entice other teams. Heat waits to see if that changes. And the Bam/Porzingis dynamic to monitor: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 11:07 AM

Just got back from Europe for a few days and catching up on some Heat things:
– Never got the indication that Miami seriously considered Oubre. (Said this on the pod a lot)
– People on here are talking about Dame more than the Heat and Blazers are

Was on a podcast this afternoon that will come out over the weekend. The following trade idea was presented.
Philly gets Damian Lillard
Miami gets James Harden
Blazers get Tyrese Maxey, Nikola Jovic, and picks
How off-base is this? pic.twitter.com/pgDiUE9isA – 7:20 PM

More on this storyline
Rivers also revealed he is holding out hope for a roster spot in Miami if the team ends up opening up a bunch of roster spots in the wake of a potential Damian Lillard trade in the coming weeks. The Celtics currently have 14 players signed to their roster but only 11 players are on fully guaranteed deals. -via Booth Newspapers / September 20, 2023
