The Trail Blazers are working to appease Damian Lillard by adding a star-level player to the roster and making sure that the superstar does not request a trade.
It has been reported already that Portland is actively shopping a package of Anfernee Simons and the number three pick of this year’s NBA Draft.
NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski says that the Blazers continue to seek trade partners, but it will not be easy to make a deal that would ensure a return that Portland wants.
“Portland is very engaged around the league in seeing if they can turn that number three pick into a star-level player to pair with Damian Lillard, but it is going to take a tremendous package,” Woj said, via ClutchPoints.
