The NBA Blazers were eliminated by the Nuggets in the first round of the 2021 playoffs, Lillard played 41.3 minutes in 6 battlefields, he scored 34.3 points + 4.3 rebounds + 10.2 assists + shooting rate of 46.3% + three-point shooting rate of 44.9% explosion data, unfortunately most of these data have become empty cuts, the Blazers lineup configuration is not strong, Nurkic averaged 13.2 points per game in the playoffs, CJ's shooting rate was only 43.9%, after the Blazers were out, Many fans are wondering whether Lillard will apply for a trade, after all, there are too many such examples, such as Paul George, Anthony Davis, etc., but due to Lillard's bold words in the past, the possibility of his departure is actually quite low, but it has not arrived, in the recent exposure of the United States, Lillard's loyal heart seems to be shaken?
On July 25, Beijing time, Bleacherreport reporter Eric Pincus said in a post: "Lillard will give the Blazers another chance, he will make a decision before this summer's trading deadline, although he has not publicly applied for a trade, but many NBA league executives have begun to pay close attention to the Blazers." Anthony Davis went to the Lakers with 1 year left on his contract, James Harden went to the Nets to become the second, and if Lillard wants to do that, he can be the third, unless Neil Olsh (Blazers general manager) does something to make Lillard confident about the team, the future of the Blazers will be in a state of instability. ”
From the exposure of the united states can be seen that lillard is now in a state of hesitation, his position does not look as firm as before, it is actually easy to understand, Durant went to the Warriors and then won 2 consecutive championships, Leonard went to the Raptors to win the championship, thick eyebrow brother went to the Lakers to win the championship, Holliday went to the Bucks to win the championship, if his team is not competitive enough, then joining other teams is the wisest choice, Lillard is now 31 years old, if he does not hurry into the championship state, In the future, his situation may be similar to that of Chris Paul, and in this offseason, there are 3 NBA teams that can be his ideal home!
The Lakers have LeBron James, Anthony Davis, these 2 super giants, the Lakers also have tradeable Schroeder, Kuzma, Harrell and the first round of signing, if Lillard is willing to join, then the Lakers can create a 3 giants lineup, they will be very close to the championship, but this requires Lillard to clearly state that only to go to the Lakers, after all, the Lakers' chips are still relatively lacking weight, the Lakers are Lillard's ideal home, but the difficulty of this transaction should be top-notch, there is no Lillard, the Blazers closely cooperate , that is basically impossible to achieve.
The Suns have shown their strength in the 2021 playoffs, if you replace Chris Paul of the Finals with Lillard, it is estimated that now they have won the championship, Lillard is younger than Paul, the key ability is stronger, plus next season's growth booker and Ayton, you have reason to believe that they can win the championship, the Suns hold all their first-round picks after 2022, theoretically their trading assets will be better than the Lakers, Phoenix will be Lillard's ideal home, Just like when Kevin Durant joined the Warriors, Lillard is close to the championship here.
The 76ers showed good fighting power in the 2021 playoffs, if it were not for Ben Simmons too crotch, they even had a chance to win the championship, it is reported that now Simmons has been put on the shelf, he can become one of the chips for trading Lillard, the 76ers now all the first-round picks are in their own hands, they have a large number of trading chips, relative to the Suns, Lakers, Lillard joining the 76ers is also closer to the championship, the 76ers can provide the Blazers with a richer return, more importantly, Joining the 76ers may make Lillard less criticized, right?
