As we sit in the middle of Week 2 of Damian Lillard watch, a quick resolution may not be in the cards.

On a new episode of the Miami Herald’s Heat Check podcast, Anthony Chiang and David Wilson offered their thoughts on the evolving Lillard situation and whether they still believe the Heat will end up with the seven-time All-Star guard.

Is it time for the Heat to show more urgency to get a deal done or are the Trail Blazers just taking it slow in hopes of building some leverage? Chiang and Wilson discussed where things may be heading.

The episode ends with some summer league takeaways, including observations on Nikola Jovic, Jamal Cain, Orlando Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and more.
