There could be multiple NBA teams hard at work on a Damian Lillard trade right now.
After literal months of nothing happening, it sounds like things are finally moving forward.
Several teams may be involved in a potential deal, and several stars might be as well.
According to Gerald Bourget, via NBACentral, the Indiana Pacers could enter talks with the Portland Trail Blazers, Miami Heat, and Phoenix Suns as a possible fourth team in this trade.
He added that Buddy Hield is a name to watch in the upcoming future.

Hield has been with the Pacers for two seasons now and has been attached to multiple trade rumors since arriving in Indiana.
In fact, it has felt like Hield has always been on the verge of possibly being moved.
He could be a very enticing addition to multiple teams.
Last season, Hield averaged 16.8 points and 5 rebounds on 45.8% from the field and 42.5% from the three-point line.
He is known as a stronger shooter, which is needed by a few of the teams possibly involved in this trade.
Turning the Lillard move into a three-team arrangement is sure to make the Blazers happier.
They have been resisting the urge to let go of Lillard because they haven’t liked the proposed offers from the Heat.
They have been waiting for more talent and trade picks.
Although they might not end up getting Hield in this trade, another team in the mix could, and that team could send more assets Portland’s way.
The deal that finally sends Lillard away from the Blazers may end up being very big and very complicated.
