Toronto Raptors pushing hard for Lillard’s signature

One of the biggest stories during this NBA summer is Damian Lillard. Will he stay with the Portland Trail Blazers or move on somewhere else? It seems like the whole situation is developing even more.

According to journalist Mark Stein, another team joined the battle for his signature and it is the Toronto Raptors.

Stein claims that the interest of the Canadian team is quite serious, although they are well aware that Lillard’s main goal is to play for Miami Heat.

Sources: a deal sending Deandre Ayton to the Portland Trail Blazers, OG Anunoby and Jusuf Nurkic to the Phoenix Suns, and Damian Lillard to the Toronto Raptors is “a formality”.

The seven-time All-Star also resists playing north of the U.S. border. Earlier this week, it also became clear that even if he joins Chicago Bulls, who also showed interest in him, Lillard would still want to be traded to Miami.
