Maybe they are planning to trade him, but want teams to see him healthy again first so they can get more?
Nothing they’ve done since Lillard got hurt has made me think they have any chance contending at all with Lillard. They dumped Covington and Powell, traded CJ for Josh Hart…They’ve got Simons, Hart, and whoever they draft at 7. They have a major need for talent and I’d absolutely trade Lillard and build for the future if I’m them.
I also like Lillard and want to see him on a good team. Lillard to Miami would be fun to me.
