Damian Lillard has been waiting for his trade to the Heat for more than two months. Negotiations are not moving forward at this time, but the latest news is finally positive. The arrival of training camp might well unblock things as we might hope.
While the James Harden soap opera seems completely dead, it’s another thing for that of Damian Lillard. For the greatest happiness of the player. The latter made it clear that he wanted to join Florida to evolve with Jimmy Butler, except that the Blazers and the Heat never reached an agreement. Talks are stalled over Tyler Herro, who doesn’t really seem to be unanimous in Oregon.
Damian Lillard trade on track?
But another trend is emerging this week. Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed in a recent broadcast for ESPN that the Blazers have accelerated negotiations in the league. Over the last two weeks exactly. We can sense a desire from the leaders to put an end to the Lillard soap opera before the start of the regular season. But that’s not all.
The Blazers have increased trade talks surrounding Damian Lillard, per @wojespn.

The Blazers have accelerated discussions for a trade around Damian Lillard, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. “From what I understand the Blazers have had a lot more discussions with the teams in the last 10/14 days than in the previous month. »
For many observers, the training camp might help settle the negotiations and that seems to be the case for Woj. This does not mean that an agreement will take place in the coming days, but Portland does not necessarily want to keep Dame to start this regular season.
Another important fact, this time via journalist Greg Sylvander, close to the Heat, the negotiations have seen a little boost in the last few days. His departure to Miami is therefore gaining momentum:

The Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat made progress over the 48-72 hours on a potential Damian Lillard trade.
No agreement yet between the Blazers and the Heat, but the Damian Lillard trade is progressing slowly. The will is there for Portland, determined to turn the page before the recovery. It’s the perfect time for Pat Riley to come and wrap this up.
