The Portland Trail Blazers are willing to trade Damian Lillard anywhere in the league - not just to the Miami Heat - according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Blazers want a combination of draft picks, young players, and salary cap relief in exchange for Lillard, Wojnarowski adds.

Lillard reportedly requested to be traded to the Heat. Miami's potential trade package is apparently centered around Tyler Herro and draft picks, and could even include Duncan Robinson. The Heat would likely need to involve a third team to make the deal happen.

While Blazers GM Joe Cronin indicated that he'd work with Lillard on the move, the star guard doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contract and can't veto any deal made by the team. The seven-time All-Star has three seasons remaining on his contract with a player option for a fourth year.

Other Lillard suitors reportedly include the Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers.

Lillard has spent all 11 seasons of his career in Portland. He's the all-time franchise leader in points and 3-pointers.
