NBA Trade Rumors: Taking a closer look at the 5 best-positioned teams to acquire Damian Lillard. 

Damian Lillard has been one of the most loyal superstars in recent history. Though, as is often the case, Lillard’s patience could be wavering. The whispers are getting louder and the road for Lillard to leave the Portland Trail Blazers could be forming.

When Lillard wants to make it official, it appears that he’s already laid the foundation to request a trade from Portland. It’s beginning to feel like a Lillard trade request could be on the horizon – whether that comes this offseason or in the not-so-distant future.

Either way, there’s a chance that a Lillard bidding war could begin between NBA teams sooner rather than later. Working under the assumption that we could see an all-out bidding war, we explore the five teams that are best-positioned to acquire Lillard when, or if, he becomes available on the trade market.
