There were a lot of teams who were one piece away that could have used the services of Anthony Davis and/or DeMarcus Cousins. But, chances of getting them were dashed when the Pelicans traded for Boogie. One of the teams whose fans wanted Boogie were the Portland Trail Blazers.
After a surprisingly good season, where the Blazers beat the Clippers in the first round, Damian Lillard had aspirations of finally getting into the Conference Finals. Ultimately, the Blazers are not even in the playoff race, right now. There are a lot of teams stuck in that limbo.
Stuck in the middle and looking for a way out, Damian Lillard and the Blazers are dominating NBA gossip. Rumor has it, Lillard is on the trading block. Due to this, fans of every NBA team not named the Pelicans, Cavs, and Warriors are making plans to land him, via Twitter.
