It's a bit bizarre given the relative power players have in the NBA that Miami has been on the public shortlist of a handful of guys that wanted to be traded there and failed to land a single one. [Reply]

Sounds like they are going to trade him away quickly.
The Blazers remain engaged elsewhere on deals and will are expected to immediately engage contending teams on trade talks to move on Jrue Holiday, sources tell ESPN. Portland is committed to its young group of talented guards. https://t.co/6IR7bcFVrr
If Portland had a bit of an ulterior motive to spite the Heat they sure pulled it off beautifully. Trading Lillard to the Bucks cucks them in a multitude of ways now and well into the future. [Reply]
:-) Heat and Pat Riley in full blown damage control.
For their part, league sources say the Heat were prepared in July and August to offer up to three first-round draft picks — with Tyler Herro going to a third team — and multiple second-rounders and swaps along with expiring contracts and 2022 first-round pick Nikola Jović. But the Blazers were disinterested, with each side developing a level of contentiousness. [Reply]
