One NBA writer is proposing that the New York Knicks acquire superstar point guard Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers this summer.
Eddie Bitar of Fadeaway World proposed that the Knicks send guard Jalen Brunson, forward Obi Toppin and four first-round picks to the Blazers for Lillard.
“Lillard is a great fit for the Knicks’ culture,” Bitar wrote. “He is a hard worker and a team player, and he has a reputation for being a great leader both on and off the court. The Knicks have been focused on building a strong team culture in recent years, and Lillard’s presence could help them continue to develop that culture. The partnership alongside All-Star Julius Randle would also make the Knicks a formidable side with the starting lineup becoming Damian Lillard, Immanuel Quickley, R.J. Barrett, Julius Randle, and Mitchell Robinson.”
