Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Tyler Herro

Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F/C Ben Simmons, F Royce O’Neale, 2025 First-Round Pick (PHX via BKN), 2027 First-Round Pick (PHI via BKN), 2027 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2029 First-Round Pick (DAL via BKN), 2029 First-Round Pick (MIA) 

Miami Heat Receive: G Damian Lillard 

Having said that, we have been anticipating this event for a long time now. Damian Lillard’s career is finally coming to an end, and we can now write a eulogy for him.

For years, there has been a popular notion that Portland should trade him to another city. As far as it is concerned, the time has finally come for it to become a reality. 

Damian Lillard is probably one of the best Trail Blazers that has ever played the game. It is possible to make a case for Bill Walton. After that, there is no contest – it’s time for the Dame to show her stuff. 

As a result, this may be a cause for celebration. Lillard and the Trail Blazers have been stuck on the mediocrity treadmill for a long time now.

It was in the best interest of both parties to get a divorce. We celebrate with a heavy heart, despite the fact that we celebrate with a heavy heart. 

Is this the right way for the two sides to say goodbye?
