Damian Lillard wants to go to the Miami Heat. Nothing has changed so far this offseason. Lillard’s agent, Aaron Goodwin, recently confirmed Lillard’s desire, according to Barry Jackson.
“I do what I should for my client. Some teams I called them. Other teams have called me. It’s a respectful relationship with most teams. Honestly, he wants to play in Miami. Stop.”
News: Regarding report about message to non-Heat teams, Lillard’s agent, Aaron Goodwin, tells me, “I do what I should for my client. Some teams I did call. Other teams have called me. It’s a respectful relationship with most teams. Truthfully, he wants to play in Miami. Period.”

According to Goodwin, other teams seeking a trade for Lillard should probably stop their pursuit. If they were to acquire the Portland Trail Blazers star, Lillard would not be thrilled. He clearly wants a trade that would bring him to the Heat.
Miami failed to win the NBA Finals last season. They reached the Finals but were defeated by the Denver Nuggets in five games. Miami has been a consistent contender in recent years, but the team led by Jimmy Butler has yet to win it all during his tenure with the franchise.
We’ll see how things play out but it’s not so obvious that Lillard will eventually go to Miami. Both sides want him but you also have to please the Portland Trail Blazers.
