Blazers Owner Jody Allen Wanted To 'Turn The Page' With Damian Lillard Trade - RealGM Wiretap
The Heat felt like they deserved Damian Lillard; the Bucks acted like they needed him. Is there really any harm in borrowing against your future when the alternative is having no future?In terms of raw court dynamics, we haven't seen such a complementary rim-plus-arc pairing such as Dame and Giannis since the days of Shaq and Kobe, of T-Mac and Yao.
“We really need to move on. We’ve got great young talent. We’re not like other rebuilding teams who don’t have a strong core of young players. It’s time to turn the page," Allen said. Portland traded Lillard in a deal that brought Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara and Jrue Holiday to Portland, as well as a first-round pick and two first-round pick swaps. The Blazers subsequently traded Holiday to the Boston Celtics for Malcolm Brogdon, Robert Williams III and another first-round pick.
