The Lillard situation is getting weird. My understanding is that the Blazers weren’t looking to trade Lillard, despite having drafted Scoot Henderson, and that Lillard hadn’t lost his love for Portland, but rather that Lillard wanted to be traded to a contending team and that the Blazers were looking to accommodate him. Toronto, though, will not be a contender with or without Dame, and it’s not a city that he wants to be in, which means he’d be worse off going to the Raptors than staying with the Blazers.
Hopefully this closes the book on believing anything that comes out of Toronto 🙄
