One of the most talked-about players in the current NBA offseason has been Damian Lillard. Fans have wondered whether Lillard would finally ask out of Portland with the Trail Blazers after several seasons of the team failing to meet expectations.
Pillared has remained extremely loyal to Portland and the Trail Blazers organization, but some fans feel that his talents would be more useful on a better team.
According to a report by Sam Amick of The Athletic, Lillard would prefer to build a great team in Portland. Amick says he has two players in mind who could help him achieve the goal.

Lillard’s “dream scenario” in Portland is for the team to re-sign Jerami Grant and to pick up Draymond Green.
NBA fans reacted to Lillard’s suggestion for team-building on social media, and many laughed at the idea of the aforementioned roster.
“I don’t think Jerami Grant can be a teams second option and that team make a good playoff push,” one fan said.
