NBA:
A story in Forbes reveals the Trail Blazers didn’t have many decent offers for Damian Lillard even before the star guard let it be known he would only play for the Miami Heat. An unnamed executive in the article cited Lillard’s large guaranteed contract, game-limiting injuries the last two seasons, and that he’s in the back nine of his career as the reason there is a lack of interest for teams to part ways with assets the Blazers would agree on. A trade for Lillard probably won’t happen until the season is underway, when Portland could gain more value in a deal with a team looking to make a run.
