Ramona Shelburne on ESPN : The Celtics have expressed interest in acquiring Damian Lillard and have the assets to get it done, but they are not on his list. Boston is “not a city that (Lillard) would necessarily welcome going to right now.”



It looks Dame is set on going to Miami and wouldn’t wanna play for the Celtics either. I think one roster that can make the Dame trade and not gut their roster are the Celtics. The Celtics assets are Brogdon, Grant, White, Pritchard along with 4 picks, 3 swaps to make a Damian Lillard deal if they don’t want to include Brown.

    funny that both AD and Dame didn’t want to be traded to the Celtics

  2. throwstuff165

    Good thing he has that no-trade clau- oh wait.

  3. xerxesthagreat

    not tryna be called the N-word by a drunk 5’3 man at Wahlburgers, i get it

  4. Nice_Ass_Lawn

    Portland stopped using Woj and started using Ramona lmao

  5. compe_anansi

    If they get dame without giving up brown they easily become favorites to win it all. How is that even possible cap wise?

  6. iabeytorm

    Someone should tell dame he’s not a free agent. It would be one thing for him to be a malcontent if they sent him to some trash team where he doesn’t have a chance to contend but even his biggest stans couldn’t defend it if you sent him to a tier 1 contender and he was unhappy with it

  7. KaiserKaiba

    Well yeah, Lillard already made it clear he only wants Miami.

  8. SquimJim

    “Right now”

    Interesting choice of words there Shelburne, just enough to give me a little more false hope. Thanks

    /r/NBA speed run any% to comment racism in a post about Boston

  10. copaseticepiplectic

    do yall not know how racist as fuck portland is lmfao i know boston is bad and has a rightfully deserved bad rep but do yall just not know portland?

  11. Nodecafallowed

    They didn’t make the finals recently enough.

  12. BradyGronktd1287

    Yeah playing with Tatum and Brown are so bad. Not even Kyrie was this bad when he wanted to leave Cleveland

  13. TechnicianWeird7593

    Don’t worry guys, the league is **DEFINITELY** taking away whatever draft picks we don’t use in this trade.

  14. AntSmith777

    I’m not understanding how a Boston deal without Tatum or Brown is any better than what Miami can offer. On a young team I’d rather have Jovic and the rookie than Brogdon and Robert Williams.

  15. Belmagh

    Dame is locked in for years on his contract and there is not a No Trade Clause. Boston has the assets to go for Dame w/o losing Brown. Why not go for it regardless of Dame’s single team focus? You have a chance to Steal him from Miami and not gut your team OR force Miami to up their offer and gut their team & assets further. Absolutely don’t let Miami get him for a shit offer.

  16. ThyDoctor

    IDK if Grant + Timelord + Picks is any better then Herro + JJJ/Jovic + Picks. I guess with Boston’s package you’d be more set on keeping Grant and TL while with the Heat Package you need a third team.

    BUT IDK I’m just a man coping.

  17. adognamedpenguin

    So his thing isn’t actually about “winning.”

  18. Holiday_Machine9312

    Dame: I want to go to a contender
    Blazers: we are sending you to Boston
    Dame: Not like that!!!!

  19. CertifiedCapArtist

    Ain’t nobody give af what he wants. Bring him in. Hold him hostage if you have to bro ain’t sitting out while his legacy takes a hit

  20. MontanaStevens

    The media is pushing so hard for the blazers to get a shit package from Miami lol

  21. bostonbruins922

    Hey KG didn’t want to be here before the trade and now he loves the place 🤷‍♂️

  22. tnarref

    Why should the Blazers care? Did they give him a no trade clause? He’s under contract for at least 3 more seasons, the Blazers should take whatever package they prefer, fuck his preferences.

  23. Frowny_Biscuit

    Something something about chickens and homes and roosting.

  24. StanleyStutters

    I mean if you could do it without touching the core why not just do it if you’re Boston?

    Dame is known for his work ethic I can’t seem him holding out for three years because he went to a team other than Miami.

    Most surprising is that ownership would be cool carrying Dame, the Jays, and KP’s contracts. I know they can wiggle around the cap but that has got to put them in a bad tax spot.

  25. BillowingPillows

    The notion that Dame has a say here is so hilarious

  26. downtimeredditor

    I’m sorry how are they affording Jayson, Jaylen, KP, and Dame

    Rather are they really bought into the trio of Jayson, Dame, and KP?

  27. dadogfather_

    Grant got sign and traded to the mavs. If I were Portland I would at the very least ask for timelord and 3 unprotected picks and some salary filler.

  28. CptPottawatomieBrown

    He doesn’t get to pick, why take a shitty deal as portland?
