Miami Heat's Trade Offer For Damian Lillard Is Reportedly "Best On The Table"
With teams starting to back off trade talks for Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, the Miami Heat are considered the best option.
ESPN's Brian Windhorst said during an appearance on "NBA Today" that the Heat are likely the only team to offer the Trail Blazers a trade package.
"As I look across the league and have conversations with executives and agents, I can't identify another team that is seriously making an offer for Damian Lillard at this point," Windhorst said. "My belief is that the Heat can't either."
It means the Heat are in the driver's seat if a move for Lillard is made. The only holdup is the Blazers deciding if the Heat's deal is worth Lillard, a seven-time All-Star.
"While people can look at what the Heat's offer might be and scoff at it, if their offer is the only one on the table, it's the best one on the table," Windhorst said. "And the fact that Portland isn't going forward with anything is a verification of that."
