3 Bold Trade Packages To Send Damian Lillard To Memphis Grizzlies

Damian Lillard, Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trail Blazers, NBA Trade Rumors
NBA Analysis Network

The Memphis Grizzlies and the Portland Trail Blazers find themselves in very different situations entering the NBA offseason. At the same time, they have a lot in common.

Let’s start with the similarities. Both teams are built around a point guard. They’re both small-market clubs in the Western Conference. Actually, that’s about all we can think of.

Otherwise, the Grizzlies are on the upswing, and the Blazers are in decline. That’s owed to the age gap between Ja Morant and Damian Lillard as much as anything else. In 2021-22, the Grizzlies advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals. The Blazers missed the playoffs altogether.

Reports suggest that they don’t intend on doing the same in 2022-23. Still, some would argue that they ought to. The Blazers appear intent on retooling around Lillard and getting back to their competitive ways.
