NBA teams best positioned to acquire Damian Lillard: Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors, if they don’t trade for another star, will absolutely be a factor in where Lillard lands if he hits the open market. The Warriors have two lottery picks, James Wiseman, Andrew Wiggins (to work as a salary filler), and future picks that could appease the Blazers in a potential bidding war.
The Warriors would be a landing spot that would be appealing to Lillard and they’d immediately emerge as a favorite to win the 2022 NBA championship.
The Warriors acquiring Lillard would absolutely be a scary thought for the rest of the NBA, especially if they can acquire him without having to part ways with their current core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.
