It is no secret that Damian Lillard?s first city of choice to get traded to was Miami. Unfortunately for the Miami Heat fans, the deal did not see the light of day, and the 7-time All-Star got traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in a blockbuster three-team trade. Jimmy Butler and Co were disappointed, to say the least, as they lost an opportunity to acquire one of the most clutch players in NBA history.
Famous DJ and record producer DJ Khaled also wanted Dame D.O.L.L.A to come to South Beach. Months after his blockbuster trade, DJ Khaled revealed his brilliant Miami pitch for Damian Lillard.
