Damian Lillard
The Portland Trail Blazers didn’t waste any time making changes this offseason, replacing Terry Stotts with Chauncey Billups at head coach.
Besides altering the coaching staff, there could be changes on the horizon to Portland’s roster. Most people assume that CJ McCollum is the most probable candidate to be traded on the Trail Blazers.
That being said, there are murmurs that Damian Lillard could request a trade amid the changes that are happening in Portland.
Lillard has remained loyal to the Trail Blazers over the years despite the team failing to put together a roster that could truly contend for a championship. Maybe another first-round exit and a change to the coaching staff is enough to push Damian Lillard to ask out?

Until Damian Lillard says it himself that he wants out, I don’t believe he’ll be playing for a different team next season. But if Portland is willing to listen to offers for him, then not many teams would say no to the high-scoring point guard.
