    Selfishly, I hope Dillard doesn't demand out and makes a firm statement that he'll 100% be with the blazers next year. So long as there's a chance he wants out, there will be teams who will hold out for him in the off chance he becomes available and offer a kings ransom to get him. If he's officially off the market, free agent movement will occur with the expected names of Ben Simmons, CJ McCollum, etc. And John Wall has a good shot of finding a few suitors in that mix.

    Report: Rockets among most aggressive trade suitors for Damian Lillard

    No sure if this has been posted.

    Edit: It's in the GARM posted by the J.R. bot. :D

    If he will leave Portland, I can only see one possible scenario.

    The Mavs will offer the max allowed first round picks plus whatever craps to match the salary and get him to Dallas.

    Prozingis will no longer be needed, if they can dump him, they will and look for couple more vets.

    Is he too solid to throw his team under the bus?

    He just needs to demand a trade and get it over with. Trying to be "solid" or whatever he wants to coin it is going to keep him from getting to the Finals for another year.

    the blazers probably want dame to request a trade. Dame ain’t as humble nice as the media claims. He got a few people traded out of Portland for disagreements and fights in the past like Gary Trent jr

    Don't hate on Dame. He's a tru G. He's just saying his game speaks for its self and he is not gonna go fabricate a title by forcing a trade to some "Big 3/Big4" team.

    If it happens with Portland or they decide to trade him elsewhere and it happens with a new team, he is not forcing the issue.

    Respect!

    Mavs and Cuban should be pursuing the hell out of him. Morey and the Sixers too.

    And even a team like the Wizards. Beal + Dame could be potentially dangerous. Beal is WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than CJ or anyone Dame has ever played with.

    I'd also say the Pelicans should be trying to get in on that. If they could add Dame to Zion and Ingram I could see some Phoenix Suns like potential.

    Thank the lord LA traded for Russ instead of Lillard. He will be an immense help to any team that doesn't already have a star at the point.
    Thank you thank you thank you LA for trading for Russ. :)
