Well it would be pretty bad for anyone to go through this and being multiple times on that knee he is probably really frustrated.  But anyone of these guys that makes it to the NBA now adays has a determination unlike normal individuals.  They can literally spend their entire time dedicated to read since that's "their job".  He is young enough to not throw in the towell.

I just don't see it happening.  If the Heat don't get stripped of all its players for Dame then they will likely be a perennial late round team so their firsts aren't worth as much as a bottom end team, and theor players just don't really ring out as players psortland is looking for.  Maybe I'm wrong but I can see him with the Bucks.  That would be fun to see him and giannis running the floor.

Yeah right. They might not be playing on all those crucial situations if Dame was there to help, but we all know that we really
can't control or predict what might happen if ever he's with the Heat, right?

Now, with that trade request, a lot of things can happen. Just look at the way when Kyrie requests that trade from the Nets
rumors circulate that he might join LeBron but ending up playing with the Mavs.

Looking to see (Dame) achieving his goal, to win a title.

Being a superstar doesn't mean that you can dictate which team you wanted to land on, unless your name is LeBron James who can somehow make things happen.

But for Dame and Kyrie, both Nets and Portland gave them a big contract because they are really that kind of expensive players because of what skills they possess but in the same way, those teams will make sure that they will get the same worth with what they gave and will not just give them away easily without having any good package in return.

And hence why Kyrie Irving is in Dallas now and why Damian Lillard might not land in the Heat, even if he wishes to go there.

In reports, there are still 4 teams that are in pursuit of Damian Lillard and these 4 teams are the Clippers, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the New Orleans Pelicans, and the Boston Celtics, and it said in this article that the hot in Pursuit was the Miami Heat, those 4 teams are the additional who wants Lillard in their team, here is the Article but in the recent news the Portland Trailblazer doesn't want to cooperate with the Miami Heat in getting Damian Lillard, in this Article


in the last season of the NBA Russell Westbrook have shown greatness once again when Paul George and Kawhi Leonard were injured he has shown great skills in the playoffs but to no avail because he is the only one available I think for the next season Russell Westbrook can not push himself like that again it is likely resignation was the only option for him,


I also wish that he recovers from that knee injury Lonzo Ball is a great player much great than his brother Lamelo, but if his injury is proven that it is like Kawhi Leonard kind of injury and he doesn't want to play his injuries were all fake then he should not have any given salary anymore and he should be cut down to the NBA because of what he did, you can compare it to Ben Simmons on what he is doing with his team now but I think Lonzo Ball got legit injuries, what I am saying is if proven,

Just to add, Westbrook now holds the record for the largest pay cut in NBA history.

From $47M last year to now $3.9M per year. Anyway, it seems like the Clippers want him to be back, and with PG and Kawhi injury-prone, they need a player like Russ to carry the team. I still believe that he can still be a great player, and can score at least 20 points anytime if given the opportunity. I just hope that he will improve his shooting, and don't throw bricks out there.

As for no team interested in him, I don't think that Russ, and Melo will have the same faith. Melo don't want to be a bench at that time thus, no team wanted him. Russ on the other hand is willing to be a bench player if that will help the team. Melo is egoistic while Russ doesn't, and can adjust if needed. Let's give Russ this season to improve, and if he improves this season, with him having a Player Option for the next season, teams will surely want him again to play with them.

His addition on heat can really be a big gamble to that team since they need to give up their good piece and might they lose huge contribution on bench so maybe they need to work this out on free agency and get those guys that can potentially help them if they really want to get Lillard into their team. This is really a big decision that they need to take since they already lose Vincent which and now they might lose more.

I believe the trade is likely to happen since Lillard has expressed his desire to leave the team. It wouldn't make sense for the Blazers to keep him if he wants to go elsewhere. They will likely engage in negotiations to find a trade deal that they consider fair. Currently, there are no other teams rumored to be involved in talks for Lillard, so it seems that he specifically wants to join the Heat. That's what we should believe for now.

True, there are plenty of teams that would go after Lillard with a better offer, so it is highly unlikely that he will be traded to the Heat if there's a better offer, as the Trail Blazers management is always the one to be followed.
