Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard has been a player in the past period of trade rumors, and the Lakers are one of the teams with the largest city in the league, so Lillard's move to the Lakers will be a good choice?
Even though Lillard doesn't seem to have the will to leave the Blazers at the moment, to be honest, Lillard's departure is good for him and the team. So if the Lakers were to try to push for a deal involving Lillard this offseason, what would be the plan that might make that happen? Us media James Pearsey proposed the following two transaction plans:
Scenario 1:
The Blazers get: Russell Westbrook, Joe Harris, 2022 first-round picks (from the Nets), 2025 first-round picks (from the Lakers), 2027 first-round picks (from the Nets), 2029 first-round picks (from the Lakers)
Nets get: Josh Hart
The Lakers get: Damian Lillard
Scenario two:
Trail Blazers get: Anthony Davis
The Lakers get: Damian Lillard
In the above two deals, the Possibility of the Lakers pushing for a three-way deal with the Nets and Trail Blazers is unlikely, or the Nets are unlikely to help the Lakers complete such a deal, and it is only in the case of Getting Josh Hart.
In contrast, the swap between Anthony Davis and Lillard is relatively feasible, but it is only feasible, because it is estimated that the Blazers who want to fully enter the reconstruction phase do not want to get an easy Anthony Davis. Overall, neither deal is likely to become a reality.
