With the 2023-24 NBA season approaching, there are questions surrounding the Boston Celtics, particularly regarding their new addition, star big man Kristaps Porzingis, and their rivalry with the Miami Heat. As currently constructed, the Celtics are seen as having the upper hand after adding the Latvian center, but a looming potential swap for disgruntled Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard could upset that balance.
While the trade talks currently seem stalled, the Heat have been a formidable presence in the Eastern Conference in recent years, and such a move would only re-solidify such a status for at least the season to come.
The host of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast Bobby Manning linked up with Miami Heat reporter Wes Goldberg to talk it over.
Check out the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about what might happen if a Lillard deal goes through.
