Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard has demanded a trade to the Miami Heat which impacts the Blazers’ negotiating power.
There is strong belief that if Lillard doesn’t get what he wants, the entire situation could become volatile.
Aaron Fentress of The Oregonian/OregonLive and Craig Birnbach examine all of the angles involving this complex situation on the Blazer Focused podcast.
Topics:
– Lillard’s agent is telling teams not to trade for his client? It’s not going over well.
– Is Lillard in the wrong for demanding where he wants to land?
– The Blazers certainly aren’t obligated to take a poor deal for Lillard. So, what can be done?
– Keeping Jerami Grant and Matisse Thybulle means the Blazers hope to remain competitive in the first season post Lillard.
– Much more.
