Longtime sports media personality Dan Le Batard recently shared his thoughts on the possibility of the Miami Heat landing a trade with the Portland Trail Blazers for star point guard Damian Lillard.
But at one point, Le Batard turned his attention to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Le Batard seemed to make an exception with the way NBA insiders have been covering the Lillard situation.
«As if it’s shameful for Woj to tell people they could spend weeks or months with Lillard,» Le Batard said, referring to the Wojnarowski reports.
«And this is the Heat’s position, there are no back and forth calls. The offer is [Tyler] Herro, and Herro is the best you’re going to get from anyone. he is better than [Tyrese] Maxey. It’s the best you’re going to get. you are locked up Lillard wants to be with us. This is the deal,» she said on «The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz.»

Wojnarowski previously reported that Lillard’s agent, Aaron Goodwin, is only considering trade offers from his client’s preferred destination, the Miami Heat.
