Damian Lillard’s dream scenario
Damian Lillard is a formidable force in the Portland Trail Blazers lineup. He has spent his entire career suiting up for one franchise like Draymond Green. But this off season looks to shift that narrative.
Dame’s ‘dream scenario’ as reported by NBA Central is for the Trail Blazers to sign Draymond Green and resign Jerami Grant.
The possibility of this trade linkup emerged after Green’s rumored move to Miami and Lakers at the start of free agency.

Regardless the trade hasn’t happened yet but with the addition of Scoot Henderson things surely are changing in Portland.
But while Green and Grant are likely to boost the team prospects, it is still unclear if Dame stays in Portland this season.
Fan reaction: ‘We’re tired’
Dame’s ‘dream scenario’ might look good on paper, but it’s already leaving fans fuming on twitter.
Many have expressed their displeasure over a far-fetched possibility.
Can we stop talking about this, we’re tired man
