While the Miami Heat are among the teams interested in trading for Damian Lillard, the number of years and dollars remaining on his contract could make the market for him somewhat narrow.
"It's not going to be a big market," said Adrian Wojnarowski on ESPN soon after news broke of his request.
The Brooklyn Nets are another team with interest in Lillard.
"I think ultimately Portland still wanted time and was trying to see if there were some trades in the marketplace... But for Portland now they got a trade request from Damian Lillard and the expectation is they'll accommodate it."
The Blazers will enter a rebuilding period with a core of Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe.
