Heat Must Push for Damian Lillard Trade Before Season amid NBA Rumors

Damian Lillard really wants to play for the Miami Heat.

So much so that if the seven-time All-Star is traded to any other team in the league, he will immediately request a trade to the Heat, per the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson.

Lillard has been transparent about his desire to play for the Eastern Conference champions as he pursues the NBA title that has eluded him throughout his career. The Heat, conversely, would seemingly love to have him based on the fact that they have offered up trade packages to the Blazers in an attempt to acquire him.
