If enough teams drop out of the running for Lillard - either because they can't meet Portland's demands or they believe Lillard won't play for them - it will narrow his market to where the Heat will either be the best or only option on the table. This is the crossroads, and it's likely the main reason Goodwin is playing interference to force the Trail Blazers' hands. Guard Tyler Herro appeared to be a part of a package as well, but multiple reports indicate Portland doesn't want him and it would take a third team interested in Herro to facilitate a trade.

The Heat reportedly don't have the most appealing offer on the table for Lillard, though.
