The Miami Heat are rumored to be keeping a close eye on Damian Lillard's situation with the Portland Trail Blazers this offseason, but they reportedly won't be able to pry him away in a trade anytime soon.
During an appearance on Wednesday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that while Miami "is going to be very anxious to watch what happens in Portland, to see if there's any point this summer" that Lillard becomes available, the Blazers are not open to dealing him right now.
"He's not available now. He says he wants to be in Portland, and the Blazers have shut down anybody who's called about the possibility of trying to trade for him," Wojnarowski said.
After falling short in the NBA Finals for the second time in four years, the Heat are expected to pursue some big-name players this offseason in hopes of completing their mission to win a title next year.
