After a summer of near endless speculation, it appears that a trade involving the Portland Trail Blazers’ all-time leading scorer is on the immediate horizon. Damian Lillard requested a trade back on July 1, setting off a whirlwind of rumors for the past three months, with very little concrete detail.
That appears to have changed. ESPN’s Marc J. Spears revealed on NBA Today that there is an expectation that Lillard will no longer be on Portland’s roster by Media Day, which is scheduled for Monday, October 2.
