Beijing time on June 9, although a city is great, but for Lillard, he is really difficult to win the championship in the Blazers, there is no championship of a city, there is no imaginary greatness, so the 34-year-old Lillard should work hard for himself and pursue a championship.
The past season has been painful for Lillard, who has only played 29 games due to injuries, the core players of the team, Powell, Covington, McCollum, etc., have left, and coach Stotts has also been dismissed. It's not particularly good to think about, so many people are concerned about whether Lillard will go to the Lakers.
But the Lakers are not Lillard's best choice, after all, the Lakers are not in good shape, Lillard has gone, Westbrook will definitely go, the rest of Davis is the Glassman, James is 38 years old, in this case, for Lillard, it is better to stay in the Blazers, there is no advantage.
The NBA analysis network suggested that Lillard apply for a trade in this offseason, and the object of the trade is the Grizzlies, because the Grizzlies have talent, can defend, and the record is already the second in the West, and Lillard's choice of the Grizzlies is equivalent to choosing the future. Compared to the Lakers, I don't know how much superiority, so Lillard is more suitable to join the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies also have better chips, and the trade plan is as follows: Adams, Dillon Brooks, Melton, Zaire Williams, 2023 first round, 2025 first round, 2027 first round, 2028 first round exchange, thus getting lillard of the Blazers.
Although the Grizzlies are very young and talented, but they lack experience, so Lillard's joining, leading the Grizzlies at key moments, is definitely able to make the strength to a higher level, and Lillard is also an All-Star level superstar, for the Grizzlies, if Lillard joins, it is more conducive to their impact on the championship, the Grizzlies and Lillard, have the dream of winning the championship.
