The Portland Trail Blazers will have no shortage of suitors and offers for Damian Lillard.
Lillard is one of the best scorers and leaders in the league, and now that he finally wants out, almost every team in the league should be aiming to beat him.
With that in mind, ESPN analyst Alan Hahn has compiled a list of the top five potential touchdown spots for multiple-time All-Star touchdowns.

Hann brought the Brooklyn Nets into the bottom five, and although Lillard has spoken about Mikal Bridges and their close relationship, he still doesn’t feel like it’s the kind of team he’d like to play for.
The Nets can make an attractive offer, but they can’t give him a chance to play in a championship.
The Los Angeles Clippers grabbed the fourth spot, and for very obvious reasons.
This team has knocked on the door to an NBA Finals appearance, but they could probably trade in either Paul George or Kawhi Leonard to make a deal.
Boston Celtics is Hahn’s No. 3 team.
Likewise, they were so close to the championship, the addition of Lillard would push them to the next level, but they would likely drop Jaylen Brown.
Notably, Han chose the Miami Heat as the second best destination.
On the other hand, Lillard states that he just wants to play with them, even though they don’t have the best business deal for his services.
Then, at No. 1, he was interested in the Philadelphia 76ers.
Truth be told, his one-two punch and MVP Joel Embiid would be borderline unstoppable, and each might also be just what I always needed to make that jump in the postseason.
