Time to go!!
Ain’t nobody trading assets for that contract. Portland stuck with him. Ain’t nobody interested in paying a 36 year old on the downside of his career 60 million a year. You’d have to have gut your team of multiple good players to match that salary. Lillard, by himself, ain’t worth all that and ain’t putting nobody over the top by himselfUnless they get Victor, Dame has played his last game as a Blazer
Victor's timeline doesn't match up with Dame exactly but the hope would be he's basically immediately, generationally great and they're doing damage in the playoff picture right away like when Duncan went to the Spurs. The chances of that are extremely low but I can't see them moving Dame if they get Victor regardless
If they don't win the lottery I think they will move Dame to the highest bidder. He has too much pride to ask out but they will do the right thing and move him somewhere he at least can go to the playoffs
