Who wouldn’t want Damian Lillard on their basketball team? The Portland Trail Blazers’ franchise player is an All-Star, an All-NBA First Teamer and an all-everything ambassador for the sport. Show me a team that doesn’t want Lillard, and I’ll show you a team that doesn’t know anything about hoops.
But just because it would be good if a player could be gotten doesn’t mean that player can be gotten, ya dig? NBA teams can’t just reach out and grab someone; this isn’t pick-up basketball at the local Y. There are all sorts of limitations — contractual, financial, legal, cultural.
