Stephen A Smith fully supports Damian Lillard’s move away from the Portland Trail Blazers. Smith believes that Dame has earned the right to demand this trade away from his beloved Blazers after all that he has done for the franchise and for the city over the past 11 years. Stephen A is also well aware of the fact that the Miami Heat has always been the seven-time All-Star’s likely landing spot.

Stephen A Smith delivered very passionate statements. However, he took it a notch further this time around given how this potential trade is so close to his heart.

He also believes that Dame would be a perfect fit around the current roster. Particularly, Smith sees a world wherein Lillard and Jalen Brunson would thrive in the same backcourt.
