Portland Trail Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers are already in their rebuilding phase. Or are they?
The drama surrounding Damian Lillard does not seem to be going anywhere, even after they decided to move CJ McCollum at the trade deadline.
Lillard missed a significant amount of time this season, and that allowed the Trail Blazers to move to the bottom of the Western Conference.
If Lillard ends up wanting out of Portland, he will have to request a trade. The front office will have to find the right deal if this happens. Lillard is another guard that has been linked to Miami. Tyler Herro would lead the return and give the Portland Trail Blazers a future piece to build around.
