Damian Lillard is arguably one of the greatest players in Blazer history, and whether or not he ended his career with the Blazers is an undeniable fact.
Recently, the topic of whether Lillard will choose to leave this Blazers has once again aroused heated discussion among fans, after all, Lillard's departure will be good for both sides, and there is news that the Warriors seem to be Lillard's ideal home. Us media James Pearsey suggested that the Warriors and Trail Blazers consider the following two options:
Scenario 1:
Trail Blazers: Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman, Jordan Poole, 2023 first-round picks (from the Warriors)
Warriors get: Damian Lillard
Scenario two:
Trail Blazers: Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman, Jonathan Cumminga, 2023 first-round picks (from the Warriors), 2026 first-round picks (from the Warriors)
Warriors get: Damian Lillard
Both of these deals allow the Blazers to get future assets and young players in return with Lillard, of which Wiggins is a former champion who can perform well on both offensive and defensive ends, even if he is no longer a young player or a cornerstone of the team, Wiggins can definitely become a core part of this Blazers.
In addition, young players like James Wiseman and players like Jordan Poole and even Jonathan Cumminga are young players who are suitable for the Blazers' rebuilding stage, in addition to future first-round draft picks, if the Warriors are willing to give away chips of this level, to be honest, the Blazers have no reason to refuse such a plan.
As for the Warriors after Lillard, they will also be able to build a more competitive lineup, and they will also be able to continue to storm the championship trophy in the championship window between Curry, Thompson and Green.
