Podcast: Why have Damian Lillard trade talks gone quiet? And Heat summer league takeaways
Five weeks after the Miami Heat’s season ended in the NBA Finals, we’ve finally reached the quiet part of the NBA offseason.
The draft was last month, the free agency frenzy is in the past and summer league wrapped up a few days ago. But the unresolved Damian Lillard saga is still looming over the Heat’s roster.
On a new episode of the Miami Herald’s Heat Check podcast, Anthony Chiang and David Wilson discussed why trade talks between the Heat and Portland Trail Blazers appear to have gone quiet. Will Lillard still end up with the Heat?
The rest of the episode is dedicated to the Heat’s summer league showing. What did Heat center Orlando Robinson prove in summer league? Did Jamal Cain do enough to earn a standard contract from the Heat? How will the Heat fill the back end of its roster?
