He explained that he was waiting to see what the Blazers were going to do during “free agency” before deciding on his future… and Damian Lillard therefore only needed one day to request his transfer.
Chris Haynes, Shams Charania and Adrian Wojnarowski all announce in chorus that the playmaker has finally told Portland that he wants to leave Oregon. Obviously, the 160 million dollars over five years offered to Jerami Grant did not convince him of the team’s project.
It’s not really a surprise because the Blazers do not have the weapons to fight for the title, even with the return of Jerami Grant, and at almost 33 years old, Damian Lillard has no more time to waste.
The Blazers should try to meet the demand of their “franchise player”, who will still receive 45.6 million dollars next season, then 48.8 million dollars in 2024/25, 58.5 million dollars in 2025/26 and finally 63.2 million dollars (“player option”) during the 2026/27 season. At 36 years old.
Miami, the perfect wedding?
All eyes are obviously on Miami, which let Gabe Vincent and Max Strus slip away in a few hours, but also Victor Oladipo. Given that Damian Lillard has also never made a secret of his attraction to the Pat Riley franchise, it would be the perfect marriage, Yahoo! Sports also evoking the Brooklyn track.
However, according to The Athletic, Damian Lillard made it clear to the Blazers that he wanted to join Florida. But according to ESPN, Portland will also consider offers from the Sixers and Clippers, the two other interested teams.
As for Ramona Shelburne, she assures that the point guard also has a lot of respect for Spurs. From there to imagine teaming up with Victor Wembanyama? It seems very, very unlikely but we must remember that unlike Bradley Beal, Damian Lillard does not have a “no-trade clause” and therefore cannot choose his destination.
