The Portland Trail Blazers have no desire to grant Damian Lillard's wish of a trade to the Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat.
Lillard finally handed in a much-anticipated trade request to the Trail Blazers on Saturday, stating his desire to move on from the franchise in search of a championship ring. He was said to have identified the Heat as his desired destination, and is believed to have told the Trail Blazers as such.
A host of teams - including the Heat, LA Clippers and Brooklyn Nets - have been tipped to test the waters for the seven-time All-Star, but the Heat remain Lillard's first choice.
