Damian Lillard won’t play for the Miami Heat alongside Jimmy Butler. Instead, in a shocking development in the NBA, the Portland Trail Blazers have decided to accept a trade with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Lillard had a valid contract until the 2026-2027 season after he signed a two-year extension in 2022 worth $225 million. However, when the Blazers selected Scoot Henderson in the 2023 Draft, it was over for him.
