This is some straight-up propaganda from ESPN.

The four-letter network’s Andscape is reporting that “two high-ranking NBA team executives” told them the Toronto Raptors are the front-runners to land superstar Damian Lillard in a trade from the Portland Trail Blazers — HA!

Apparently, the Raptors have had conversations with Portland recently regarding Lillard; however, no deal was close to being made as of Monday (because, of course, there wasn’t), according to Andscape’s source.

The day after NBA free agency kicked off — July 1 — Damian Lillard requested a trade from the Trail Blazers, making it clear his preferred destination (and only one at that) is the Miami Heat. And Andscape (ESPN a.k.a. lyin’-ass Disney) wants you to believe there weren’t any real conversations between the two franchises in the entirety of these past three months. Sure.

Truly incredible.

We’ve had three months of Damian Lillard pushing strongly to be with the Miami Heat. Anything from subliminal social media messages (here’s a recent one from not even two weeks ago where Dame called himself “the next Miami Heat superstar”) to threatening to not report to training camp, Lillard has made it clear it’s South Beach or chaos — for the Blazers or any other franchise besides Miami that trades for him.

I mean, just days ago we had this report …

Now we’re supposed to believe he’s just going to magically go to the Toronto Raptors? (LOL)

And speaking of Barry Jackson, just check out the confusion ESPN has spinning around his head:

… that tweet is the perfect symbolism of ESPN fibbing to people.

Man, I just love how they blatantly lie. Everybody in the South Florida market sees Dame is going to the Heat, everybody in the Portland market sees it and everybody in NBA media sees it — except for ESPN’s anti-Miami peddlers. And this has been going on for the entire summer.

I’m telling you right now — and it’ll probably come as no shock to you guys with the agendas Disney is consistently pushing — but I believe everything coming out of ESPN regarding Damian Lillard is a bold-faced LIE.

Dame will be traded to the Miami Heat, take it to the bank. Don’t fall for this BS propaganda.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
