6 wild Damian Lillard trades, according to Trade Machine

The Portland Trail Blazers are at quite a crossroads heading into the 2023 NBA Draft.

They could go in a few directions with the No. 3 pick … or deal their franchise star in Damian Lillard and kick-start a rebuild that already has some pieces.

There are some teams who could be good fits to trade for the No. 3 pick, but in this scenario, some NBA fans are wondering what a Dame trade would look like. And for that, we head over to Twitter where die-hards are playing GM and using their favorite trade machine sites to make a deal.

Let’s break them down:

1
Dame to the Knicks

I don’t see this one happening.

2
Lillard to the Heat

One that makes a lot more sense.

3
A HUGE trade that gets Lillard to the Heat

Now THIS is one I want to see.

4
Lillard to the Heat, Part III

A better return for the Blazers, I think.

5
Lillard for ... Zion?

WHO SAYS NO?

6
A three-way deal that gets Lillard to Miami

Uh, LaMelo Ball? NOPE.
