The Athletic’s headline will tell Portland Trail Blazers fans that the Philadelphia 76ers are more focused on getting Damian Lillard than they are on just trading Ben Simmons.
“It would be fair to say the goal is less to trade Ben Simmons and more to acquire Lillard.”

Though any potential trade for Dame, is pretty frightening to Blazer fans, I think there’s a good chance that Dame requests a trade in the next 12 months.
