Funny how the supposed #2 team on the list of suitors for Dame doesn't have its own thread. 
At this juncture, Toronto and Chicago have been the two possible destinations for Lillard discussed most by league figures.
For whatever level of activity Chicago has here, the Bulls don’t bill as strong of a partner as Toronto for what the Blazers are attempting to achieve. Chicago has explored trade scenarios for Zach LaVine throughout this offseason, league sources told Yahoo Sports, yet Portland does not appear keen on acquiring the All-Star guard. The Blazers have a score-first uber-athlete in Simons, who has not reached the level of LaVine’s production but is also four years younger and commands nearly half the salary. Perhaps Chicago can reroute LaVine to another destination and use that package to engage Portland, as mentioned on PHLY. There just doesn’t seem to be a robust market for LaVine’s services, with his salary and injury history. His availability has been known around the league since July, yet he remains in Chicago.
