Bill Simmons knows that the situation with Damian Lillard is delicate, but the player still has a lot to contribute to any NBA team, especially if he lands in a franchise with already established players who need a leader for a dynasty.

However, after so many rumors involving Bill Simmons himself in recent weeks, Lillard’s future is uncertain and things are unlikely to end as some podcasters, analysts, and reporters predict.

Until now, Lillard has been linked with 4-6 franchises, including the Miami Heat, who aspire to reach the playoffs again and win the long-awaited title that they have lost twice in a row in two Finals appearances.
