Sam Amick on whether Damian Lillard gets traded this offseason: I'm going to lean towards yes
Sam Amick on odds of Damian Lillard being traded this offseason: I’m gonna lean towards yes because I feel like… how deliberate star players are with their voice. And what I’m seeing from Dame right now, and the type of commentary and analysis coming either from him or reporters who are close to him, the tone of the discussion feels like two things: A) something you choose to do to apply pressure and make sure your front office trades the No. 3 pick for a very good player to make him stay, and B) to send the message that if you don’t [trade that pick], we’re gonna have to figure something out here.

One other note on Damian Lillard trades. Was told by an exec that the @trailblazers would “prefer” to include Jusuf Nurkic in a potential deal.
“Not a package deal” necessarily. Just a preference.

Getting Dame for basically Maxey and ONE first plus mid stuff would be a laughable coup. But my replies say otherwise so far. – 9:38 PM

Damian Lillard on Instagram Live seconds ago: “In that same [Showtime] interview, he asked me if I think I’ll still be in a Trail Blazers uniform, and I said I do. Because I do.”
“I felt like I had to say something, so it doesn’t look like I’m in the background setting shit up.” – 9:24 PM

A possible #Sixers all in trade offer for Dame might include: Maxey, Harris, Melton, Springer, pick swaps in ’24, ’26, ’28, PHI’s own ’29 1st. And up to 6 2nd rounders.
That and all the latest trade rumors about Damian Lillard.

Haynes on Lillard’s feelings about Portland and the 3rd pick:
“Based off what he’s said, if they keep that pick, whether it’s Scoot or anybody else, I think a serious conversation will be had about potentially parting ways.” – 5:22 PM

🏀 What does the comment mean?
🏀 Can Brooklyn outbid Miami?
🏀 Should the Nets pull the trigger?

Danny Marang: FWIW – I’ve heard that Damian Lillard has been actively recruiting FAs to Portland still. Which, would be a little weird for a guy setting up his exit. -via Twitter @DannyMarang / June 10, 2023
Portland has valued Suns center Deandre Ayton in the past, sources told Yahoo Sports, but Phoenix is too asset-strapped for any realistic chance of prying Damian Lillard from Portland should the Blazers’ franchise player ultimately seek to play elsewhere this summer. -via Yahoo!
