Dame’s path to Miami is starting to look a little cloudy. The Portland Trailblazers have come out now and said that they’re open to hearing from any team in the league about trading Damian Lillard. They initially seemed to be willing to do whatever it took to get Dame where he wanted to go, but when it came time to sign the dotted line their tune started to change.
It's all a pony show. They need to say that so that if Miami really wants Dame they want to ring up the price for him. If they just come out and say we are dealing him to Miami they lose any leverage. Whether or not he lands there is still up for debate based on the package they get back. Portland isn't just gonna give him away for anything.
