The Portland Trail Blazers could soon be moving on from Damian Lillard, and recent reports suggest that it may come before the beginning of the season on Oct. 25.
While Lillard has been linked to the Miami Heat all summer long, other teams are entering the mix as potential suitors for the Blazers guard.
Bleacher Report’s Andy Bailey conjured three separate Lillard trade ideas. Here’s a look at what he came up with:
The Deal: Ben Simmons, Cam Thomas, a 2027 first-round pick (via Phoenix), a 2029 first-round pick (via Phoenix) and a 2030 first-round pick for Damian Lillard
Ben Simmons is one of the league’s biggest question marks right now, but he also makes enough money to be the salary-matching contract in this deal.
