Where will Lilliard get traded to?

[Shanemansj13]

Probably just need a 3rd team to get the deal done. How could Portland not entertain this one?? They get two young players and a ton of future picks.

76ers get: Damian Lillard
Cavs get: CJ McCollum
Blazers get: Ben Simmons, Collin Sexton, Kevin Love, Shake Milton and five 1st-round picks (two via Cleveland, three via Philadelphia)

That could get Portland's attention but Ben Simmons doesn't want to play in Portland. That's going to be a problem in any Dame for Simmons kind of deal.

Fuck Ben Simmons and what he wants. He has no leverage. In the words of Judge Smails…”You’ll get nothing and like it!”

Lillard doesn’t have leverage now and Harden didn’t last year either.

Still, if a star doesn’t want to be there anymore, it can completely derail the season.

Simmons’ leverage may just be that Philly can’t afford to wait for him to change his mind if he isn’t committed to being there.

That sounds great but if I’m Portland, I’m not doing the deal if Simmons is going to be a headache from day 1

Not to mention the fact that teams like to be seen as working with players. That was part of the reason the Thunder did the Kemba buyout.

Yeah. Really not good for anyone involved to keep a disgruntled player on the roster. Holds the team back in multiple ways.

This.

He is ruining his trade value by saying he won't report.

Huh. Whatcha waiting for?
