Cool to hear, but all we have to match money-wise is KJ, McD, and Graham and I'm sure Portland could do better.

We don’t have to match money wise, we have 25 million in open cap space
I wouldn’t package kj for that dude.
Class up the trade request by mentioning the Spurs.
We're under the cap. No need to attack Keldon.
If he was two years younger I'd want the Spurs all over this. But he ain't.
Deep respect for the Spurs. The Spurs just got friend-zoned.
We ain't getting him
That would probably just cause a weird power struggle with Victor. I sort of prefer for this to be Victor’s team from day one with the assumption he’s not gonna be an arrogant prick about it, and let players learn to play around him. I’m not saying we should put too much pressure on him from the beginning, but having Lillard around would be sort of an opposite problem, potentially. Or I’m just scarred by the Kawhi horse .
I have a deep respect for Damian Lillard ... but the timeline doesn't work. If I'm the Spurs, I don't give up multiple assets for a guy who will be expensive and declining when Wemby, in thoery, begins his ascent.
I feel like Dame is gonna be one of those dudes still wowing everyone at 36. Not saying that will make him worth $60MM/year, but I don't think he'll be a broken as bum in his last season. Dude has a lot of pride and professionalism in his game, much like Lebron.
Trade for Dame. Get these kids in the playoffs and let them learn how to win on the big stage. What player could we sign or draft in the next 3 or 4 years that could possibly be as good as Dame? Who gives a if he's 32? Isn't CP3 still balling (when healthy lol) at like 50 years old? Who the wants to watch a bunch of 30 win seasons for the next 2-3 years? Wemby said he wants to win now. Believe him or don't. Just hope no one is crying when he dips in a few seasons because the front office was too chicken to try anything.
Donovan Mitc really really wanted to be a Knick. He ended up in Cleveland. Bad might happen to you when you request a trade with some years left on your contract.
Blazers rightfully should be listening to everyone’s offer - not just the Heat.
Agenst and players always mention the Spurs as a great team destination, but sadly few stars ever seem to fall here.
The Blazers would want too much for him besides, his top choice is Miami.
Would this need to be a trade that is consummated ASAP or could we just let the Blazers stew a bit and use the first half of the season to see how close Wemby is to being a legit centerpiece?
If Wemby ascends early I don't mind adding win-now vets to the team...
Feel like the Spurs have time on their side here--it's completely unknown whether our winning timeframe is immediate or a couple years out.
I don't think 'we' have anything to say about it
Right now he wants Miami.
Miami ain't got much to offer.
Other teams are raising their hands like Utah and Brooklyn.
Eventually Lillard will get that he can't go to Miami and will say he's okay with some other team. This'll take a while.
A good point made, however, that by mid-season we could quickly switch to buyer mode if Wemby is ascending and putting up 24/12/4/3, for example, and the other youngs are showing solid developmental progress. Say SA finds themselves in the 6 seed in January… you might consider a big move.
Or… that might lead you to believe in this core and just want to add via the bevy of picks we have coming.
Let's move on.......
Hopefully, when it comes to Lillard, the Spurs will be a facilitator and not a taker.
