Colin Cowherd:
“Damian Lillard has given eight years to the team, he’s been great, he’s a great teammate, everybody loves him, and everybody would love to have him, and there’s going to be a lot of teams wanting to make a trade, nobody doubts that. Are you concerned this morning that Portland is kind of trapped, you’re good, but Dame wants a championship team and you know with the salary cap that there are limitations on what you can do? Are you concerned that Dame may love Portland but may not believe it’s a championship team?”

Colin Cowherd played a game of
‘Dame Time or Lame Time?’ as Colin decides which trade offers he would accept from the list of teams who are reportedly ‘aggressively pursuing’ Lillard in a trade.
Miami Heat
“That feels like DAME TIME. That feels like a legitimate team. They would package a deal for Tyler Herro, a talented young guy who had an off-year, and multiple draft picks. Jimmy Butler and Dame fit together, one is a star scorer who is not a great a defender, and Jimmy Butler gives you both ends of the floor. The Heat were +200 with Butler on the floor and -200 without him, so they’re too Jimmy Butler dependent.”
