The Portland Trail Blazers have been linked to the Toronto Raptors and other teams in trade rumors surrounding point guard Damian Lillard as his request remains unfulfilled.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on NBA Today that additional assets such as draft capital could sway the Blazers to facilitate a deal not involving the Miami Heat.
“Can they pick up a couple draft picks to take on some money? Is there a need they have that they can get in a three or four team trade? So Portland – they’re exhausting all of those conversations this week and they’re certainly behaving like a team that wants to get a deal done, that’s trying to get a deal done before training camp.
