Expect Damian Lillard Trade Talks To Pick Up Soon

Per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, the Damian Lillard trade talks could be picking up very soon and force the Blazers into making a decision.

Both the Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers are expected to open backup trade talks as training camp nears closer.

While Miami wants to get a deal done, Portland has been taking their sweet old time; showing either patience or extreme mind games.

Blazers general manager Joe Cronin says it could “take months” to get a deal done.

Lillard requested a trade on July 1st. Many expect this deal to get done, especially when came begins or shortly before it begins.

If Lillard is traded, then it’ll end his run with the Blazers after eleven loyal seasons.

Damian Lillard To Play In Game 2 Against Pacers

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Milwaukee Bucks will have the much needed return of Damian Lillard for Tuesday’s Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers.

Lillard has not played since March 18th due to deep vein thrombosis. Despite developing the blood clots, he was recently taken off of blood-thinning medication and being able to have early treatment, detecting of the issue, and having specialists being able to treat Lillard even before a formal diagnosis.

The Bucks lost 117-98 to Tyrese Haliburton’s team, which caught some fans off guard. Outside of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s performance, everyone lacked severely. Most notably Kyle Kuzma, who did not record a single statistic in 22 minutes of play.

The 34-year-old averaged 24.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.2 steals in 58 appearances.
