Report: Lillard requests trade

[radiohead]

What can Miami even give them assuming they keep Jimmy and Bam?

Herro and... that's it, basically.

Philly and LAC could easily give better offers I think. What if Brad gives Malcolm and future firsts?

Although this may sound callous, Portland has no obligation to send him to a requested team like Brooklyn or Miami. He has at least three years left on his contract, so it's not like he has much leverage. If Portland isn't satisfied with a deal, there's no rush to get it done.

Philly should offer Harden + Maxey + two #1s

Then Portland flips Harden.

so hypothetically speaking would Brown for Lillard be an option via sign and trade? I assume not because of the super max right?

Be nice if my Twitter worked

Heat have nothing to offer. Low draft picks and herro?

Philly should easily be able to beat that offer.

[Who]

James Harden would be interesting for Portland.

G - Scoot Henderson
G - Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe
F - James Harden
F - Jerami Grant
C - Nurkic

That team could be a 50 win ball club.

Clippers could be a darkhorse - Powell, Morris, Mann, two firsts, and any future swap.

I prefer that trade to the Miami one. Morris and Mann can both play wing/forward in a rotation. Powell has always been able to play with other ball-dominant players.

The first round picks are going to be gold.

On top that, if you wanted to trade Powell and Morris to other teams looking for vets and cap relief, you can gain more assets.

That's better value than Herro, Lowry, and Miami's firsts.

Clippers are left with Lillard-George-Leonard-Covington-Zubac with Batum, Coffee, and Bones off the bench. They could resign Plumlee for more depth too.

James Harden would be interesting for Portland.

G - Scoot Henderson

F - James Harden
F - Jerami Grant
C - Nurkic

That team could be a 50 win ball club.

I don't think that team even makes the play-in tournament.

The Nets have way more to offer than the Heat if it comes to that. Sixers too if they dangle Maxey

I think JB can’t be traded if he gets the supermax.

[cman88]

I mean Lillard can want Miami all he wants but why should Portland get a bad deal because that's his preference?

Brooklyn, 76ers, clippers all have more to offer.

Honestly I hope he goes to the Clippers. The East is getting really stronger.

[RPGenerate]

Honestly have no clue why people think the Clippers have enough to trade for Lillard. All they have are their own picks and a bunch of salary filler. Brooklyn, Philly, and Miami easily outbid that sort of offer.

This is correct. he signs for any amount of the supermax he's trade ineligible for 1 year.
