Damian Lillard is one of the most wanted players in the NBA. Just a few days ago, many reports pointed out that the Blazers had shut down any chance to trade the star even with a lot of teams offering massive packages.

Lillard is currently under contract until the 2026-2027 season. In 2022, he signed that two-year extension worth $225 million. Nevertheless, there are still many doubts about his future considering Portland are still far away of being a contender.
