According to Greg Sylvander, Heat insider, the Blazers would have a penchant for Jaime Jaquez Jr., recently drafted by Miami in 18th position. The rookie who arrives from UCLA would be preferred to Nikola Jović in the event of a trade from Damian Lillard to Miami.
It’s a matter of time…before Damian Lillard leaves the Portland Trail Blazers. But the Oregon front office plays for time and nitpicks a bit on the details. Understandable, we know that Portland will not let go of Dame Dolla for plums.
Things are slowly starting to settle down and among the “darlings” of the Blazers to be included in the huge surprise bag of the “trade Lillard” are, according to Greg Sylvander renowned Miami insider :Jaime Jaquez Jr.
The Portland Trailblazers reportedly prefers Jaime Jaquez Jr. over Nikola Jovic in a potential Damian Lillard trade, per @GregSylvander

The Mexican-American from UCLA has just been drafted in 18th position for the 2023 vintage and is an interesting bargaining chip for Miami, which does not have a lot of profiles of the genre up its sleeve. A time mentioned, the profile of Nikola Jović, NBA champion to one letter, also seems to interest Portland but to a lesser extent. In any case, it will take an XXL offer to crack Joe Cronin and his front office.
Damian Lillard is expected to leave Portland despite all the resistance from the Blazers front office. It remains to be seen what package will be offered to enlist the seven-time NBA All-star.
