00:05 All right, well, the last time we talked, we talked about Damian Lillard.
00:09 Still a member of the Blazers.
00:11 So, nothing has changed.
00:13 Like, here we are.
00:14 So, I don't know.
00:15 There's rumors out there, the Bulls, the Raptors, that nothing's going to get done.
00:20 I mean, we're just playing game show Gilbert, right?
00:22 Like, opening night, he's going to be on the heat.
00:25 Honestly, you know, the only thing that probably has changed is that some teams
00:28 maybe think they have a chance now.
00:30 In reality, we know that Damian Lillard wants to go to Miami.
00:33 And honestly, you look at the Trailblazers front office,
00:36 they're doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing.
00:38 They are not getting the offer from Miami that they want.
00:41 They probably want more for Damian Lillard, who is still performing at a peak level.
00:47 So, they're listening to offers from the Bulls and maybe the Raptors to get the heat
00:51 to maybe up the ante a little bit and get a little bit more from them.
00:54 I have no idea what it is that they could possibly be asking for.
00:57 I think it's pretty clear what the heat can offer and it's not much else.
01:00 And if Portland doesn't like that, then maybe they do look elsewhere.
01:04 And maybe a team takes a risk and ends up having to reroute Dame to Miami eventually.
01:09 But I know a lot of people are mentioning the Toronto Raptors.
01:11 We saw it five years ago with Kawhi Leonard.
01:13 A little bit of a different situation because Kawhi Leonard only had one year left on his deal.
01:17 But if anybody is there to make a risk, maybe it would be the Raptors.
01:20 But I still think that's pretty far-fetched.
