Starting off a busy offseason, front offices across the NBA are closely monitoring the situation between the Portland Trail Blazers and Damian Lillard. If the six-time All-Star becomes available, the market is expected to be plentiful. In a piece from The Athletic, beat writers Derek Bodner, Anthony Slater, and Mike Vorkunov took a look at teams capable of putting together competitive packages for Lillard’s services.
Bodner, the beat writer for the Philadelphia 76ers, mentioned Daryl Morey’s aggressiveness when it comes to pursuing disgruntled superstars that hit the trade market. Given both their glaring need for a perimeter complement to Joel Embiid, and the availability of their own multi-time All-Star guard, Philadelphia could be a team to watch.
