Darko Rajakovic could be getting a huge boost in the near future, as Damian Lillard is reportedly close to signing with Toronto.
Now that it’s clear that the Portland Trail Blazers’ superstar will be leaving the team, speculation is swirling about potential destinations for the next chapter of his career.
According to ESPN, the Toronto Raptors have emerged as the frontrunners to acquire Lillard, making Damian the closest to signing with the Canadian team.
The details of the potential trade are not yet known, but according to information from the mentioned source, it’s expected that Gradey Dick will be included in the deal.
Damian Lillard was selected by Portland as the sixth overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. He has spent the past 11 years with the Trail Blazers, but it now seems that the time has come for a parting of ways.
In the most recent season, Lillard averaged 32.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game.
One of the potential destinations for Damian could be Miami, as he has previously expressed a desire to collaborate with Jimmy Butler.
It’s almost certain that Lillard will make a decision about changing teams by October 2nd, as Portland has given him until that date to make his decision.
