NBA Star Damian Lillard Demands Trade; League Braces for Domino Effect

  • Damian Lillard has requested a trade from the Portland Trail Blazers after 11 seasons, preferring to join the Miami Heat.
  • The Trail Blazers are open to trading Lillard but want significant assets in return, while his agent warns teams outside of Miami not to trade for an unhappy player.
  • Lillard's trade request and the uncertain futures of players like James Harden and Zach LaVine could spur further moves across the league.
  • The Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trail Blazers have had talks regarding LaVine as the teams also grapple with the trade requests of Harden and Lillard, respectively.
  • Miami is Lillard's top choice but may need a third team to meet Portland's high asking price in a potential trade.
