News: Regarding report about message to non Heat teams, Lillard's agent, Aaron Goodwin, tells me: "I do what I should for my client. Some teams I did call. Other teams have called me. It's a respectful relationship with most teams. Truthfully, he wants to play in Miami. Period."
I don't understand why Lillard thinks he can just demand Portland to accept a worse offer just because he wants to play there.

Respectfully, if Damian Lillard wanted to play in Miami, period, he should not have signed an extension to play for Portland through 2027. Period.
Beautiful retort!

Other take away from that conversation was hearing that he’s a reluctant scorer, I’d like a little more confidence from him.
