The Heat have been lurking around Damian Lillard for weeks now, without managing to secure the services of the superstar. Result, another franchise feels able to sell Portland in place of the South Beach franchise, according to recent information from a journalist.
The more time passes, the less we believe in a potential transfer of Damian Lillard to the Heat. The Floridians remain the preferred destination for the star point guard, but the Blazers are far from making it easy for their competitors. The boss Pat Riley may have launched a new offensive recently, the leaders of Oregon do not give in and we even doubt that they really want to separate from No. 0.
In all likelihood, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo should therefore start the 2023-24 financial year without Dame DOLLA by their side. what to give hope to other teams interested in the player? According to journalist Jake Weinbach, another squad from the East would follow Lillard’s file very closely and, faced with repeated refusals from Rip City, Miami could be overtaken in the final sprint:
Toronto ready to steal Damian Lillard on the transfer market?
The Toronto Raptors are a team to keep an eye on regarding the Damian Lillard sweepstakes.
If Toronto expresses serious interest, Portland could be enticed by a package centered around OG Anunoby, Chris Boucher, salary filler, and draft compensation.

The Toronto Raptors are a team to watch when it comes to the battle for Damian Lillard. Should Toronto express serious interest, Portland could be drawn to a package that would include OG Anunoby, Chris Boucher, an additional player to match salaries and draft picks as compensation.
While Pascal Siakam is also mentioned on the start in Ontario, the Canadians could finally keep him so that he forms a big offensive duo with Lillard. On the other hand, it is not in Toronto that the leader will be able to fight for a title, especially if Anunoby were to pack his bags. Elite defender, he would not be too much alongside a Lady rarely concerned with his own half of the field:
You’d think they’d want to get Dame to play *with* OG, but ok

You would have thought that they wanted to play Dame “with” OG, but ok
Can the Raptors create a surprise in the Damian Lillard file and steal it from the nose and beard of the Heat? Hard to say at the moment. After all, the problem remains the same as for Miami: convincing the Blazers to sell their superstar means a satisfactory consideration. Suffice to say that it is not won for the Dinos.
