the Trail Blazers He had an impressive run in the 2023 NBA Draft, but after choosing to keep the third overall rather than put him on a potential trade to add more NBA-proven talent, all eyes turned to veteran point guard Damien Lillard.
It was rumored that the Blazers may have needed to swing a deal in order to hopefully remove the lingering concern that Lillard might ask for a trade. Although he hasn’t done so yet, it looks like free agency will be a driving point for both sides.
Fortunately Blazers, eg the athleteSam Amick She stated that there was one “dream scenario” from Lillard’s viewpoint with a particular focus on free agency.
“So what does it take to convince Lillard that Portland is still the place to be for the rest of his NBA days?” Amick Books. “Here’s one solution that’s known to be a dream scenario from Lillard’s point of view: re-sign forward Jeremy Grant and add four-time All-Star/four-time champion Draymond Green in free agency.”
the the Warriors He appears to be well ahead of the competition in Draymond Green’s pending free agency. As Amick points out, the Blazers will need to do a lot of work on the salary cap to add Green and re-sign or Jerami Grant to the job.
The first question is whether Green would choose to leave the Warriors, as they are pushing for his return. But the idea of teaming up with Lillard has to provide a certain level of intrigue for the 33-year-old power forward.
