I'm told that while Portland isn't happy with potential packages, there are over five teams interested in a potential multiteam trade that could get it done.

Honestly would be surprised if he goes to the Heat. They really don't have a great package for Portland.
- Lowry, Jovic, 5 first round picks with Herro and Nurkic going to San Antonio is pretty good for all sides. Lowry is an expiring contract that the Trailblazers can either keep as a mentor for Scoot or trade to a desperate contender at the trade deadline. Jovic is a fucking stud and will be great one day. Offensively could fit very well next to Scoot.

As long as the Blazers aren't bullied into taking a bad deal.
- Is it Dame bullying them in this case by saying he only wants to play for the Heat and dropping his own trade value?
  
  Yeah, Lillard is hurting the Blazers here which I hadn't expected.
