Report: Lillard requests trade

[cman88]

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.

Miami has nothing either though. Picks and Herro

Yeah, and that's easily better than anything the Clippers can offer.

[keevsnick]

Lowry (1 year ex) + Hero (4/120) + Jovic (Heat 2022 First Rounder) + All the picks and swaps they can offer

for

Lillard (about 220/4 with PO left) + Nurkic (54/3)


-POR avoids having to take on Robinson's contract, and gets off the rest of Nurkic's deal. They'd have Lowry as an expiring they could use to swap for longer term salary and picks if they wanted. Hero is a weird fit there, they already have Simons and Scoot. But he just kind of needs to be in the deal I think and I'd bet he can still go for positive value. Or maybe they like him better than Simons and deal Simons instead.

Can we do a boatload of picks and Brogdon, TIMELORD, and a resigned Grant Williams in some kind of three-team deal? A starting five of Zinger, Tatum, Brown, White, and Lillard is monstrous.

Unfortunately he is demanding Heat and knowing Riley and his skills, he will end up in Miami. Still think we can get by them.

Nets has no motivation to get him and outbid Heat. Doesn’t fit their timeline and they are not winning a title. now or next few years with or without him.

He would be great pairing with Embiid- lets hope that doesnt happen but Lillard in and Harden out is not much a better team though.

Here's to hoping Portland doesn't washington this up.  F sending him to Miami.  They have nothing to offer unless Bam is in the deal.  Same with the Clippers.  They have nothing of value.

The Spurs could come up with a nice package.  Same with some of the other teams that have a ton of draft picks. 

I hate this spin of if they want to do right by Dame.  Do right by your franchise and fans and put them first.  When a player requests a trade and doesn't have a no trade clause then you can send him where ever the F you want for the best assets you can get.  I pray Miami doesn't get him.  He'd be great in Philly but you'd need some young talent back or a 3rd team to get involved. 

A 3 team deal with Houston would be good.

Philly - Lilliard
Houston - Harden
Blazers - Jalen Green, Tyrese Maxey, Sengun and a few picks.

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

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

Don't want Lillard but there's no obligation to give JB the Supermax.  Is there even a benefit for giving JB the Supermax this offseason versus next?

JB would probably want to get something done now? One injury and all the supermax talk would vanish.

If JB got traded before signing a super max, could the new team still sign him to a super max?

Well he might not qualify next season for one. And if you don't sign him now he enters the season as an expiring contract.

[Phantom255x]

Heat lost Strus + Vincent + Oladipo, and would likely trade away Herro + at least 1 of Martin/Jovic/Highsmith (probably 2 of them) to get Lillard. Unless POR is fine taking back Robinson instead of Herro. Either way their bench looks a lot thin, but that's also a scary Big 3 in Lillard/Butler/Bam

Or actually, they could do Herro + Lowry (expiring) + a young player + picks. Still, that bench becomes very thin overall

[celticinorlando]

Heat would be a poor man's version of the suns. They would have no bench at all.

No, they cannot. In fact any team that acquires him would have a very hard time getting him to extend due to CBA rules about carry over incentives. Also, I doubt Jaylen is re-signing on a rebuilding Portland team.

There's only one ball on the court.  Are you going to make Lillard the #1 offensive option over Tatum?  If not, Lillard's value is significantly less.  Brown and Zinger would definitely not be happy as 3rd and 4th options.

I wonder if Philly could get Lillard without giving up Harden. Trade T Harris instead who is an expiring deal, Maxey who is the best young player I have seen mentioned, and a bunch of 1sts. Oh wait, do they have any 1sts left? Did they give them all up for Harden? Not sure.
