The Toronto Raptors have emerged this week as the frontrunners to trade for Damian Lillard, two team executives tell ESPN’s Marc J. Spears.
The Raptors have had recent conversations with the Portland Trail Blazers, but no trade is imminent. Toronto could send out Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes or OG Anunoby as part of their trade package, plus Gradey Dick and future first round picks.
Lillard requested a trade from the Blazers to the Miami Heat on July 1st, but no substantial discussions have occurred between the two teams. The Heat initially offered the Blazers a package built around Tyler Herro and two first round picks.
Two executives expect Lillard to be traded before Portland’s media day on October 2nd.
The Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and Chicago Bulls have also shown interest in Lillard.
