The best Trailblazer in franchise history wants to go to Miami. I particularly like the following article by Arthur Hill of Hoops Rumors: https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/07/latest-on-damian-lillard.html.
If I was Joe Cronin, I would accept Jaime Jaquez Jr.; however, like what Mr. Hill says, I would pass on Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry, and Nikola Jovic. I am happy to hear Brooklyn will take Herro, but I would like both the Heat and Nets to help us arrange a deal with the Magic. If we can get a deal done, the Trailblazers will take Ben Simmons' contract.
A Simons/Henderson backcourt is still small. I would like to fill that gap with the following players: Bol Bol, Day'Ron Sharpe, and Clint Capella.
What do you think?
