There has not been an official trade request to date by Portland star Damian Lillard. That hasn’t stopped speculation about his future with the franchise who drafted him nine years ago.
Lillard, a six-time All-Star, denied a report that a trade request was imminent, but he made it clear he wants to see upgrades around him. Portland is in the bottom third of the league in projected cap space. The biggest moves it can make are moving on from Lillard or his running mate, C.J. McCollum, long the subject of hypothetical trade packages.
Currently, Lillard is in Tokyo with Team USA while his future with the Trailblazers is being toiled over stateside.
