Knicks could aim to drag Damien Lillard away from Portland

There is a reason to believe that the New York Knicks could convince star point guard Damian Lillard to consider taking his talents to New York, but he would have to force a trade from the Portland Trail Blazers to get it done. As the former sixth overall pick in 2012, Lillard is currently 30 years old and still dominating, averaging 28.2 points per game this year.

Averaging 35.8 minutes per contest, he’s also contributing 7.4 assists and 4.2 total rebounds, shooting .433 from the field and .373 from beyond the arc.

There is no question that Lillard is one of the league’s best talents, having made four consecutive All-Star appearances and six in his career.
