Here's a mind-blowing trade idea: Lillard and Nurkic to Warriors for Green, Thompson, Looney, and CP3. Win/win. If push comes to shove, the Warriors can throw in DiVincenzo or other player (but not GP2). New Warriors "win now" lineup = Steph/Lillard/Wiggins/Nurkic/Kuminga, with still a pretty decent bench. They could also separately deal a couple of smaller role players for a pure power forward or decent backup center. Lillard gets to return home (Bay Area). New Blazers lineup = Henderson/Thompson/Green/Looney/Grant (or Sharpe or Simons), with CP3 off bench along with two of Sharpe/Simons/Grant. Or put Thompson on second unit. Either way. I maintain that each team ends up stronger than they are now, which is why trades are done. The Warriors become a championship contender again, with lots of firepower, a true center, and some good defensive role players. The Blazers become a playoff contender with some experienced winners, and gain much more depth vs last season. Henderson takes over from Lillard, who might not pair up well with Henderson if he stayed. They'll lose Nurkic but it's worth the tradeoff. Just think of all the hype that this trade would generate.
I think it's more of a comfort zone, he lived most of his career with no high expectations BC he didn't have the team... Now at 33 to change scenery is not easy especially if he fails. Doesn't want to be remembered as James Harden
@@madhatter113well said man, he's comfortable and why take risks that could damage his reputation for not meeting expectations, right? Stay where he is, make good money and retire, mission accomplished. He also said that he'll be ok without a ring.
He wants to be traded but wants the Blazers to pull the trigger. He doesn't' want to be labeled as the one who joined another team to get a ring as what he has criticized other players for doing that.
Born n raised in Portland, and I agree. However, I do like the idea derozan trade for Simmons, etc, and sign grant if the roll with staying Dame. A trade with the heat surrounding herro would be stupid, with out Bam no deal.
Every yr with this nonsense. Dame need to just be like, I'm happy and I'm staying. He contributing to the media frenzy knowing he ain't about to do nothing.
The Trail Blazers may be a contender within the next 5 years. Does Damian Lillard want to wait for this development or is he going to hunt for a trade with another team. I think he should give it a chance in the future with Scoot Henderson.
He'll be 38 in 5 years n not often players still play at a elite level like LeBron n cp3 let's see how long kd can play at a high level he'll be 35 when the season starts but he has 2 younger stars plus a young center who can pick up the load so we'll see .
I swear, the Blazers never met a draft pick they didn't keep, its ridiculous! If they screw Dame over, the most dedicated, loyal, & best Blazer - EVER & he decides to leave, then I will abandon my 48 year loyalty, as well!!
Dame to Miami is a great look! Trade Kawhi, he hasn’t played up to his contract & PG actually had a good run until he got hurt so they can either build around him or move on from them two & rebuild completely. Keep your coach, it’s not his fault his star is more load managed then he’s actually in the starting lineup.
That’s cap… when the clippers were healthy they were literally one of the top 2 teams in the league. So yes, the clippers team was appropriately structured… just was unfortunately hit with the injury bug sadly.
Perk, too much, mate. Portland is not constructed correctly on two important fronts. Age and pieces. Dame doesn't have complimentary pieces to make a run and Portland is literally in a youth movement.
Clippers... Lucky .... 5 people. Can shoot everywhere... PG. WB. Leonard. Covington. And another.... Crazy.. all 3s and 2s... Lucky if PG goes to Lakers. Maybe...
i think espn is making this a bigger story then it really is lol i think he's a stubborn dude and is not going anywhere till he's too old and washed up and portland ask him to please leave in a nice way maybe 4 or 5 years from now
Lilard time at portland is over. Iam big fan of dame. You cant win anything in portland, it dint work with cj and those guys, he knows but hes forcing it. Leave portland
