Ever since Damian Lillard requesting his trade from the Portland Trail Blazers, the Miami Heat have been deemed the most likely destination.

Now, it appears that […]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ Damian Lillard trade saga does not appear to be coming any closer to a conclusion.

Remember Damian Lillard’s trade request from the Portland Trail Blazers? Yeah, the one that happened roughly two-and-a-half months ago? Well, nothing has happened about that since.

The Dallas Mavericks made it a point this past offseason to bolster the roster from a two-way perspective, and signing Derrick Jones Jr. to the veteran’s minimum certainly helped accomplish that.
