NBA 2K24 Commentary Hints At Damian Lillard To The Miami Heat

The Miami Heat have put all of their focus on acquiring seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers this offseason.

With the recent release of NBA 2K24, fans have found that even the virtual commentators have been programmed to hint at Lillard joining the Heat.

"And Lillard gets it to go Grant; it's a long way from Portland to Miami, but for Damian Lillard, it was all about their relative distance from contention. Yeah, and with the Heat, he joins a team that's made the finals twice in the last four seasons; they're hoping he's the missing piece to go the distance."

Without Lillard, the Heat are not expected to repeat their historic playoff success from last season. The losses of key contributors Max Strus and Gabe Vincent will greatly hurt their chances.

In certain game modes, the user has the ability to act as a general manager, trading, signing, and drafting players. One user decided to trade Lillard to Miami, leading to the following commentary:

"What seemed inevitable Greg, Damian Lillard in a Miami uniform, and he made no secret it was his preferred destination. It took some time, but eventually Miami and Portland worked out the deal, a huge move for the Heat."

The next major deadline for a move to be made is the start of training camp on Oct. 3. The small amount of negotiation between organizations has Heat fans grasping at anything to give them hope.
