The Toronto Raptors are considered a genuine threat to land Damian Lillard in a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers
Updated September 25, 2023 8:23 AMNews continues to trickle out that Toronto is genuinely among the teams vying to acquire the Portland Trail Blazers superstar,alongside the Miami Heat that can actually acquire Lillard.
There is, however, the question of Lillard’s willingness to play in Toronto. It has been reported from various outlets that Lillard is reluctant to join the Raptors.Toronto is not believed to be entertaining deals involving former Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes,. A deal is most likely to be consummated around O.G. Anunoby, should Toronto manage to land Lillard.
The 33-year-old point guard is owed $45.6 million this season and has a contract that runs through his player-option in 2026-27. Toronto would have to send Portland roughly $38 million in salary in order to make the financial requirements of the deal work. That means dealing at least one of Anunoby, Pascal Siakam, Gary Trent Jr., or virtually all of Toronto’s tradeable depth.
The Phoenix Suns and Chicago Bulls have also been mentioned as teams potentially involved in a Lillard deal either as the primary team or as a third team involved in a trade.
