With trade talks involving Damian Lillard reportedly intensifying as of late, the long-awaited blockbuster deal for the Trail Blazers star may finally be close to happening, according to ESPN NBA insider Marc Spears.
Appearing on Monday’s NBA Today, Spears dropped a seismic update regarding Lillard, stating several general managers around the league expect the seven-time All-Star will be traded by NBA media day on Oct. 2.
“I also hear from those same GMs that they don’t expect Dame to end up being in Portland on Media Day on Monday," Spears told NBA Today host Malika Andrews. "They think he’ll be gone."
