NBA Trade Talks Unusual: Miami Heat Prefers Negotiation, Trail Blazers Want Best Deal
The trade deal situation between the Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers is not on the same table. The Heat want to negotiate, while the Blazers want the best deal, which is not normal in NBA trade deals. The Miami Heat won’t make an offer until they know what the Blazers exactly want.
Blazers, on the other hand, have a different approach as they want the Miami Heat to make a big upfront offer as they don’t want to indulge in a back-and-forth negotiation deal.
This deal is going in a different direction, as the Miami Heat doesn’t want to make a one-sided offer without knowing the demands for Damian Lillard. They don’t see a point in making an offer.
As a result of this, the Miami Heat is ready to talk with Trail Blazers, but the Blazers are not showing any interest in the discussion.
