All thanks to his uncertainty with Portland Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard garnered a lot of attention recently. Throughout the offseason, discussions about a potential trade involving him and the Heat have remained fervent. Despite displaying loyalty over his 11-year tenure, Lillard has overtly showcased his change of heart. He has deviated from his previous stance by expressing a preference against playing alongside less seasoned players. This could enable the sniper to make a championship run with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. As the offseason progresses, the Blazers have yet to give Lillard what he wants.

Earlier, Dame wanted to be surrounded by a like-minded roster that could step up to make a title run. At the moment, the 7-time all-star wants to wear a Heat jersey. However, the two teams could not shake hands on the common ground. In turn, this has prevented Lillard from gaining any substantial advancements in his desire to win an NBA championship.

When asked about the reason for their friendship, Bam said, “I think it was just demeanor, how he walks, how he talks, how he presents himself. We have a lot of those similar characteristics. Dame isn’t the loudest person; I’m not the loudest person. We’re two down-to-earth people that gelled well.”

Adebayo also mentioned how befitting the two can be on the court, “Getting that chemistry with Dame is special, given my role as a center and his as a point guard.”

The Adebayo and Damian Lillard connection

Bam Adebayo, the Heat center, has emerged as a notable figure in discussions surrounding a potential trade involving Damian Lillard. Their camaraderie from the USA’s national team is subject to have contributed to Lillard’s inclination towards being traded to Miami.

Despite their sole collaboration at the Olympics, Adebayo underscores their distinct and captivating connection. “The biggest thing is Me and Dame. We do have a connection. We do have a type of brotherhood, but it’s a business. Both sides want it to make sense. Everybody wants it to make sense,” Adebayo said, regarding the inability of the two teams to make the deal happen.

There’s been very little that has come to light regarding a potential Lillard trade. But on the surface, it appears Miami is the frontrunner and heavy favorite to get a deal done, eventually. Additionally, Lillard will fit perfectly alongside Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler. Miami has made two trips to the NBA Finals in the last four seasons, which is an excellent sign for Lillard. The point guard has been on a quest to win his first title. Furthermore, he feels he has achieved enough as an individual and now wants a ring in his bag.
