Agree, a year or two ago they could have received max value for Lillard, now it's a little more in the air. I do think teams would go for it but it isn't going to workout like Harden-Simmons. Like you said, their best bet was working a deal with Philly.

If I had to list potential teams going in for Lillard it would probably be desperate teams or one more piece to a championship roster...and there are basically no teams in that category that can offer a decent return for Portland and contend.

You mentioned the Knicks and that is a team you would always have to consider, desperate franchise. Maybe the Kings, they are team that would trade Fox and players thinking they can contend with Lillard & Sabonis. Honestly really don't see much for Portland probably why at this point they are sticking it with Dame.

Yeah it’s not even about dame’s value as much as it’s just…fit

Who needs a pg and isn’t gonna at least start a pckage with late picks?

At least wash or ny guarantee you one lotto pick.

Orlando taking Holmgren with the 1st pick would be a classic Magic move. And they might now that Bamba appears to be leaving.

And I called it on lotto night.
He's a RFA.

Did they decline his option overnight?

If not, he can't leave unless they allow him to.

He isn't getting traded but if he were.....the Knicks need a PG really badly.

Somebody posted a Tweet that he was most likely leaving.
Wow...." Somebody "?

Well, that's about as concrete as it gets.

Everyone is saying it's a possibility if they take Chet #1.

They won't.

The Magic are playing the game like the Celtics did.

If they can get the guy they want at a lower pick and pick up another asset along the way, win.

I think he ultimately leaves, but could end up as a trade.
I heard it depends on what his number is.

If it's 12 mil or below, they match.

But, only as trade bait later, like you mentioned.

I think they try to trick someone into taking Isaacs first.

He plays the same position as Jabari.

If the Magic were crazy enough to take Chet, he's 2 years away from being 2 years away to being able to play the center position.

I would take Isaac

He’s a good player but has missed 2 straight years due to an acl.

If Portland can’t get grant they could settle on Isaac and use 7 for aforementioned Dort trade
