Exactly this is the punchers chance that Lillard wanted. Were not a superteam by any stretch of the imagination, were more like the hardest working team, with really smart coaching, and some really good two way players in Jimmy and Bam. That's what we are!!! Even with Damian Lillard were not guaranteed a championship just a better chance in the big stage to be able to finish the dance.

That’s why all the “Miami won’t be the best deal” is very amusing to me. Then throw the 2nd apron problem that a lot of teams are not gonna want to deal with on the backend of this deal?
The Miami Heat are going to be the most motivated team to make the deal.
The Sixers and the Clippers draft pick situation are both worse than ours. And Boston isn’t trading Brown.
Good luck Joe Cronin.

And theyll probably have their own players contact him as well to try to recruit them. Liliard could eliminate them just by saying i want to go to miami. Just like the reports of sixers not willing to offer up because they know liliard wants Miami
