Bleed Miami dry. I kind of like this one, which combines a couple of rumors (i.e., Utah's interest in Herro, Philly's interest in Caleb Martin, Allen's availability).

Portland Out: Dame, Nurk
Portland In: Tobias Harris, Jarrett Allen, picks (from Miami)

Utah Out: THT, Olynyk, Cleveland picks (2?)
Utah In: Herro

Cleveland Out: Jarret Allen
Cleveland In: Olynyk, THT, their own picks

Philly Out: Harris
Philly In: Caleb Martin, Kyle Lowry

Miami In: Dame, Nurk
Miami Out: Lowry, Martin, Herro

Jovic/Jacquez could go to Utah to sweeten the pot.

I don't hate our roster balance afterwards, but it would need filled out of course.

Scoot
Ant/Sharpe
Harris/Thybulle
Grant/Walker
Allen

Utah isn't going to pay that much for Herro, sadly.

For the life of me, I can't understand why we are the ones who have to be "motivated". I think it's on Miami to be the ones to show their interest.

Portland will lose lots of games next year.
If Lillard is still around going into the season, Miami can't get everybody in to go after a championship.
If Lillard sits by his choice, legacy damaged.
If Lillard plays by his choice, risk of injury. If the team sits him to preserve value, then no one is held back from minutes and everyone knows what's up. Blazers wait.

If Miami plays a waiting game, trade Lillard to a contender in the East and get a player (or players) they want to keep. Stick it to Miami. It's Lillard's fault for Miami only. It's Miami's fault for entitlement.

Cronin will go down as the GM who traded away Lillard. Looking like a patient, smart GM should matter to him, or else he'll need to be fired.
Patience is good. Portland has nothing to lose by doing so.
The longer it goes, Toronto and OG + Gradey Dick + filler = Lillard is a huge win for Masai Ujiri who doesn't give a crap about what other GMs or teams will or won't risk. He did it with Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs and got one.

This is just IMHO.

Miami might sign Dragic to minimum. There's your vet to show Scoot some PG knowledge.
player/coach Goran.

Miami fans and Beat writers have been insufferable and have such an overinflated perception of value of their team.

they thought we would bend over and it’s starting to sink in that we won’t fold. Fuck ‘em

Fuck them indeed. I literally had a Miami fan on Twitter tell me...wait, let me dig up the exact quote as it's NEXT LEVEL laughable, not to mention insulting & bad juju for him.

Have u seen what Nikola Jovic is becoming. He could be better than Dame. Better than Nikola Jokic. Go ahead and piss Dame off then. We’ll be fine. But the basketball gods will remember. Whatever assets u get back will be cursed. You think Bowie, Roy and Oden were bad luck? Lol."

LOL WUT?!?!!? This guy needs to have his medication levels checked and perhaps have internet access at the state asylum restricted again.

I just don't want the Blazers to be stuck with the last 2 years of his contract. I wouldn't mind him being here another year for Scoot's rookie year, but I want to hand the keys to Scoot. sooner than 5 years from now.
 
Media wants clean narratives.

Winning teams going for it.

mid teams nuking it for rebuilds.

young teams on the come up.

Young play-in teams adding key pieces.

a rebuilding team with Dame in camp with his replacement isn’t clean narrative.

but we’re not entitled to clean narrative in a negotiation. Sit in the discomfort, Joe. This trade would make or break the rebuild.

Agreed. I'd be OK with a Chris Paul in OKC type of situation, but I don't think Dame would. Scoot's development should be a higher priority than satisfying Dame at this point.
 
The more I think about it. the reason there is only one team interested is not because Lillard says he only wants to go there. In the past clubs have often gone after guys who wanted to go somewhere else, even if those players had shorter contracts than Lillard. It's the age, the contract and the fact he is not a two way player with length.

What Dame thinks doesn't matter anymore.
He'll have to decide between being uncomfortable in Portland or being unhappy in Detroit etc.

I don't believe that.
