While speaking on The Dan Patrick Show, Chris Haynes of TNT and Bleacher Report gave insight into where Damian Lillard is with his career. Haynes noted that he’s in frequent contact with Lillard after the Portland Trail Blazers star’s recent Showtime interview sparked a new round of trade speculation.
When asked where Lillard would want to go if he requested to leave Portland, Haynes said “I’ll leave it at the Nets and Miami.” Haynes also said that Lillard would not want to go to the Boston Celtics in a trade.

So they are going to score a lot, but we just competed. We lowered our guard for a bit, but we had Tyrese to help close it out.”
