The Raptors have reportedly emerged as potential favorites in the Damian Lillard trade sweepstakes, and according to Michael Grange of Sportsnet, the franchise believes they could get a deal done.
Speaking on Sirius XM NBA Radio, Grange suggested that Toronto think it has the assets it would take to swing a deal for the Trail Blazers’ star, and that “there’s a framework there.”
“Toronto, A, wants the player, this is something they want to do, and B, thinks that they have the collection of assets that Portland is looking for. As you guys well know that doesn’t mean a deal gets done, but I believe that’s why the Raptors think they’re in the game, at least,” said Grange.
