A mystery eastern conference team has held trade talks centered around Damian Lillard, per @MarcJSpears

Thoughts about who this team could be? Toronto has been whispered to be a potential suitor, but I feel like Orlando could be a sneaky good team with Dame – Franz – Paolo

    I’d guess Philly but idk if they changed their mind on Maxey being available

  2. TheLastSecondShot

    What’s the point of this report other than to spur engagement

  3. grudgepacker

    Don’t even care who the team is, so sick off all the “reports” that report nothing

  4. Secret_Huckleberry46

    Scoob, we gotta solve this mystery

    Unless it’s as a 3rd team, the only possible suitors I could see would be Toronto, Charlotte, Orlando, Brooklyn, or the sixers

  6. Brooklyn917

    The only team I can think off that has the contract to match and picks are The Nets but Dame makes no sense for their current team

  7. CalmResearch3132

    The voices in my neighbor’s head said that he is headed to Detroit

  8. What a ridiculous thing for a journalist to say

    I didn’t think the Blazers wanted Poole and Kuz that badly

    Dame being sent to Florida but not Miami would be fucking hilarious.

    I think it might be Brooklyn. They don’t own any of their draft picks for the next few years, their core isn’t as young as people think, and they need a point guard. I really didn’t do any research on what their books look like or what contracts they could send out besides Ben Simmons, which lol, so I don’t even know if they could realistically offer anything worthwhile, but I do know that they certainly don’t lack wing depth, which would intrigue Portland more than a score-first guard like Herro.

    Also, they were rumored to be in on Herro, so maybe that was their way of trying to get intel on what the Heat are offering for Dame so that they know what to beat (tinfoil hat szn).

  12. Is this just a leverage play to get Miami to pay more? Even so, is Miami really holding out assets…still?

    Something needs to happen. At the very least a trade package rumor.

    Anyone can say anything like this at any time, and they can’t ever be proven wrong.

    Cronin to Dame: “We have Miami at home. It’s Orlando”

  16. Sports “journalism” is a complete joke, it’s actually embarrassing.

  17. Scorpiyoo

    Dame and Giannis could make some serious noise js

  18. NbaAllDAYger

    The Wizards arent fooling me. I know its them.

  19. burnythekid

    The Heat are the Heat, but a mystery team could be anyone. It could even be the Heat.

    League sources revealed that to him in a dream.
