Imagine if Portland says right now that they wanna trade him? Can you imagine the offers they would get?
I don't think he has the value you imagine. He fell because he's old and PGs are so easy to get. He's only slightly better than Kemba at best and they're the same age. I certainly wouldn't include a whole lot of value to trade even Kemba for Lillard right now and many people have Kemba as a bottom 10 starting PG in the league.

He was definitely ready to come in and play and got lucky to go to a team that was ready to hand him the keys and have veteran weapons around him. I highly doubt he'd be having the same kind of success on NO/us/WSH/SAC etc. I don't even know if I'd say he'd be doing a better job than Kemba is for us

either way, there arent a whole lot of teams out there ready to put together big packages for a solid PG. What teams out there aren't either set at PG or have their own young guy? only a couple
