The NBA world got its blockbuster news on day two of NBA Free Agency. After weeks (months, years?) of speculation, Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers finally appear headed for a breakup after the All-NBA point guard requested a trade on Saturday morning.
The Golden State Warriors have faced Lillard multiple times in the playoffs across the dynasty era, and there is plenty of mutual respect between Lillard and the Warriors’ stars. If he heads East, the chance of another playoff matchup reduces significantly.
What if it was reduced to zero? Is there a way the Warriors could step into the Damian Lillard sweepstakes and trade for the Portland star?
