The Damian Lillard sweepstakes from the Portland Trail Blazers' perspective w/ Erik García Gundersen of Blazer Banter

Episode 1494

In Episode 1481, Sean Woodley is joined by Erik García Gundersen of Blazer Banter to chat about the onging Damian Lillard trade saga from the perspective of the Portland Trail Blazers, and whether the Toronto Raptors have the type of trade package on offer that might satisfy what Portland is looking for in exhange for the 7-time All NBA guard. Off the top, Sean and Erik dig into the Portland end of the summer's most dragged out NBA storyline, how Portland got to this point, and what the franchise's motivations are as they seek to grant Lillard his request for a trade. Next, Sean and Erik dig into some of the misconceptions or just downright wrong things being said about Dame as a player, including the idea that he's an injury risk, that he's a non-winning player, and that he won't report to Toronto if dealt to the Raptors, all of which are pretty easy to dispel. Lastly, Sean and Erik attempt to predict how this all ends up going down. Will the Raptors put O.G. Anunoby on the table and complete a deal? Will the Miami Heat re-enter the conversation? And could the Blazers actually let this thing drag into the start of the season?
