Damian Lillard reportedly wants out of Portland and the New York Knicks are one of the teams on his list of preferences. The feeling might be mutual. Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer is reporting that the Knicks are one of the teams who are “most aggressive” on the Lillard front.
“Few team executives expect a Dame deal to happen this offseason,” O’Connor wrote. “But multiple front-office sources say the Heat, Kings, Knicks, Rockets, and Sixers have recently been the most aggressive suitors.
“Front-office executives say that if the Blazers eventually move Lillard, they can expect a return rivaling or surpassing what the Nets gave up for James Harden: multiple young players, plus three first-round picks and four first-round pick swaps.
