This is a chance for the Portland Trail Blazers to send away Damian Lillard if he requests a trade. The Houston Rockets could be looking to speed up their rebuild and Lillard is the type of player they can make it happen. This would be the ultimate blockbuster of the NBA offseason and the biggest story line moving forward.

It’s clear that Lillard is growing impatient with the current situation of the team drafted him. The Trail Blazers were eliminated in the first round of the postseason once again, marking the fourth time in five years that they were able to advance.

Lillard and CJ McCollum make up a strong to go in the backcourt but the front office has been unable to put the right pieces around them. At this point in his career, Lillard could be looking for a change of scenery. The Rockets might not be their team that could win him the championship but they have been aggressive in past offseason.

A new regime of the front office completely blew up the organization in Houston and set them into a rebuild mode. There is also the option of pushing the chips at the center of the table in order to bring in another superstar in hopes of building a winner.
