No Damian Lillard Trade To Miami Heat Is Imminent According To ESPN Insider

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski says there is still no deal between Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers for Damian Lillard

The Miami Heat remain in talks with the Portland Trail Blazers for acquiring guard Damian Lillard but nothing has changed since early July. 

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski said on NBA Today the trade talks haven't picked up any steam this week. 

"Those talks have intensified this week with Damian Lillard but still there's not trade imminent," Wojnarowski said. "We talked about this throughout the summer that would pick up once we got past Labor Day and the opening of training camp. That's exactly what happened. You have Portland trying to not only talk to teams who have interest in Lillard but lots of teams who would like to get in on a bigger deal." 

The Blazers reportedly have no interest in Tyler Herro, the Heat's best trade asset. It means the Heat likely have to get a third team involved for any type of deal to happen.
