Perhaps you’ve heard. Portland may trade Damian Lillard. The Raptors are players, and things may not be exactly as they seem

NEW @CLNSMedia — As I’ve said all summer, Damian Lillard would solve many of the #Celtics‘ fatal flaws.
It’s harder to imagine a trade for him at this point, but it’s not impossible. On the emergence of ‘the field’ in the Lillard sweepstakes: clnsmedia.com/can-celtics-ge… – 4:13 PM

Last week Marc Spears said there was an East team he didn’t wanna name yet in the Dame sweepstakes and now we’ve got:
– Raptors a frontrunner
– Dame would show up and play
– Heat still quiet
Spears must be feeling pretty good about the intel he’s got

The Raptors are very interested in acquiring Damian Lillard, and “very much in the mix” for getting a potential deal done with the Trail Blazers, per @michaelgrange (sportsnet.ca/nba/article/ra…).
Toronto also feels confident in maneuvering ahead of the Heat for landing Lillard. pic.twitter.com/zYwW4fi6D5 – 1:43 PM

My eyebrow went up when Spears talked about Tatum recruiting Lillard recently. The salary-matching is tough straight-up, I’d call it impossible with how much it’d erase the front court depth. Think you have to consider any scenario, but I’d still see BOS more as a facilitator. – 12:28 PM

It’s funny how the off-season Dame topic has distracted the usual “what does Bam come back with” topic
And no I don’t believe it’s a 3 ball
May not sound fun, but him coming back with just a quicker processing speed would be a good improvement for the offense off the roll – 12:13 PM

-Various potential Raptors trades
-The Heat need to offer it all if they want him
-The Suns part
-4th teams?

More on this storyline
NBA Central: Two ‘really high ranking’ team executives believes the Toronto Raptors are the ‘frontrunners’ for Damian Lillard, per @MarcJSpears “They wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up in the 6ix” pic.twitter.com/MMxAeeGRw4 -via Twitter @TheNBACentral / September 25, 2023
By all accounts, the Raptors seem at least reasonably confident they can maneuver their way to the front of the line, past the Miami Heat — Damian Lillard’s preferred destination — and ahead of a team such as the Brooklyn Nets, who have the draft picks to get something done if Portland is open to taking on the last two years of Ben Simmons’ contract. The Orlando Magic could also make themselves heard, per sources. -via Michael Grange @ SportsNet / September 25, 2023
