Top 5 teams tipped to land Damian Lillard based on latest odds

#3 Philadelphia 76ers

The Portland Trail Blazers and Philadelphia 76ers have something in common. They have disgruntled superstars who want out of their respective teams. A swap between Damian Lillard and James Harden isn’t something the aforementioned teams are reportedly interested in.

For Lillard to play alongside Joel Embiid, a third team will be needed. The LA Clippers could come in as they are also rumored to be interested in James Harden.

It’s anybody’s guess how the three teams will work on that kind of trade. Philly has +1000 odds of getting Damian Lillard.

#2 Brooklyn Nets

“Dame Time” reportedly asked the Portland Trail Blazers to trade for Brooklyn Nets star Mikal Bridges. The two might be able to come together but it might have to be Lillard who will have to take his talents to New York.

Brooklyn has multiple first-round picks and players that they can package for the seven-time All-NBA superstar. The Nets have a +1000 chance of acquiring Lillard.

#1 Miami Heat

Despite Joe Cronin’s reported disinterest in the Miami Heat’s offer for Damian Lillard, he may still may agree to ship him to South Beach. Miami was rumored to have offered four first-round picks, a first-round pick swap, second-round picks and probably Tyler Herro.

If the Blazers are not interested in Herro, they could try to shop him for more draft capital or another player Portland could be willing to take in.

Reports about Lillard immediately asking for another trade if he’s sent to another team instead of Miami have only caused Cronin’s options to dwindle. In the end, the Heat could succeed in adding the superstar point guard to a roster that has Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Kevin Love.

There’s a reason why the Heat are +175 to land Damian Lillard.
