The defeat in the first game of the ‘play-in’ tournament against the Atlanta Hawks did nothing more than show the need to incorporate another player of a certain status to the Miami Heat squad. A fundamental movement if they want to compete to settle at the top of the Eastern Conference, where they have lost ground.
According to the journalist miami heraldFor Barry Jackson, the Florida franchise will make an effort to acquire a star this offseason. A goal that the ‘insider’ He has linked up with Damian Lillard, who has once again left his future up in the air after declaring that this will be the most important offseason of his career.
Although it is true that rumors about his future have accompanied Lillard in recent years without ever materializing in the form of leaving Oregon, a meeting between the player and the Heat would be a more than interesting scenario for both in their search for ring. In the case of the player, perhaps the last great opportunity for him to achieve it.
The bigger question, however, would be how much they would have to give up in Miami to get Lillard on board. It’s very possible that any type of deal revolves around Tyler Herro, as well as adding more pieces to match salary and draft assets to meet the Blazers’ demand. All this starting from the premise that the Heat consider both Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler as untouchable.
However, the Heat’s overall intent is to add another star to the team, so management will surely end up shuffling more candidates on their wish list.
