Damian Lillard

The Portland Trail Blazers are a team that doesn’t seem to have much of a direction right now.

Portland replaced Terry Stotts at head coach with Chauncey Billups, and they missed out on quite a few big-name free agents this offseason. After taking part in the Tokyo Olympics, it remains to be seen if Damian Lillard is fond of what is going on with the Trail Blazers.

If Lillard finally requests a trade from Portland, New Orleans should be a team that extends an offer for the All-Star point guard.

It would likely take at least Brandon Ingram and draft picks for the Trail Blazers to send Lillard to the Pelicans, but New Orleans is loaded with assets they can move.
