Heat Likely To Pursue Trade For Damian Lillard If Blazers Make Him Available

The future of Damian Lillard with the Portland Trail Blazers is uncertain this offseason as they come off another season in which they were out of the playoff picture well before the end of the season.

Portland has attempted to rebuild around Lillard with win-now veterans such as Jerami Grant, but they have also wanted to keep young players with value such as Shaedon Sharpe.

If Lillard and the Blazers decide to explore trade options, the Miami Heat are a team expected to have interest.

“I think the Heat are on the cusp of looking for another star maneuver,” said Brian Windhorst on his podcast. “I would put them on the list for Dame Lillard if Dame ends up getting traded. If he goes to market, I think the Heat are on that list. I don’t know if they have enough. A lot of their offer would be built around Tyler Herro, who was just injured. I suspect, I don’t know for sure, just to be clear, I don’t know for sure if they’re going to offer him, but I suspect that would be the type of thing. That and draft picks.”

Both the Phoenix Suns and Devin Booker are fully committed publicly and privately to continuing their partnership. With Booker in place, the Suns plan to “pivot and reload” around him in the offseason.

“Never happen,” Mat Ishbia said, interrupting the question about a Booker trade. “It’s silly. So here’s what I’ll tell you: I have Devin Booker in the prime. In order to win an NBA championship, you got to have a superstar. You got to have a great player.”

The Houston Rockets have repeatedly expressed interest in Booker, who would fit their timeline as a proven star still in his 20s. The Rockets own the Suns’ first round picks in 2027 and 2029.

When Booker was first drafted, the Suns averaged more than 60 losses during the first four seasons of his career. They then quickly became a title contender in 2021 and Booker is determined to reach those heights again with the Suns.

“I mean, it’s a rare breed,” Booker told ESPN. “I take pride in the community in Phoenix, the people that have supported me since I was 18 when things were ugly. And the people that are with us, we just fell short of accomplishing what we want. So I want to do it, and I want to do it here.

“That’s the responsibility of being a franchise player, and I wear that with honor. So it might not look the most pretty right now, but we got to get it done and I’m going to do it.”

Booker is eligible to decline his $62.8 million player option for 27-28 to sign a three-year, $212 million extension this offseason.
