In the 2023 NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Scoot Henderson with the third overall pick, leaving fans and analysts speculating about Damian Lillard’s future with the team. As the news broke, all eyes turned to Lillard, and his recent Instagram Live session featuring Will Smith’s famous “Miami” song as background music only added fuel to the fire.
Fans began to wonder if Lillard’s choice of song indicated his desire to join the Miami Heat. However, Lillard’s agent, Aaron Goodwin, was quick to address the speculation and dismiss dismiss them as simple coincidence.
Speaking to The Athletic, Goodwin stated, “The music was just a coincidence. Damian’s not disrespectful. He’s not an instigator, so he’s not going to do anything out of character. There would be no reason for him to do that. That’s why he laughed (in the video). It’s a funny coincidence that a DJ would put that on.”
Despite the Blazers shutting down trade talks regarding Lillard, rumors persist that teams are preparing offers for the star point guard. Lillard, who is known for his exceptional scoring ability, averaged 32.2 points per game, along with 4.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game last season.
His offensive ability could be an asset for teams seeking to contend for a championship, such as the Miami Heat, who have been struggling with offensive production.
