While the Philadelphia 76ers have gained momentum in a trade of Ben Simmons, the Portland Trail Blazers have made it clear that Damian Lillard is not available.
Lillard has expressed his commitment to remain with the Blazers.
Interim general manager Joe Cronin has also expressed a strong commitment to continue building around Lillard.
The future of the Blazers has been uncertain this year following their slow start amid rumors of a potential trade request from Lillard.
