Portland Trail Blazers
Russell Westbrook was already involved in another blockbuster swap of point guards and this could be another. The Portland Trail Blazers were a huge topic in the offseason because of Damian Lillard. The superstar point guard did not request a trade but that does not mean that he is content with Portland at the moment.
If Lillard requests a trade out of town, the TrailBlazers will get a huge return for their superstar.
The return could be led by Westbrook, along with some other capital if that would help the Portland Trail Blazers rebuild a bit. Russell Westbrook would join CJ McCollum in a backcourt that has been strong for years.
It is unlikely that the Portland Trail Blazers will Lillard if they do not have to. If he goes in a request to trade, they could decide to take advantage of his value.
