LOS ANGELES, CA – MARCH 5: Damian Lillard /

Portland Trail Blazers

Someone would have to take on Evan Turner’s money, and CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic would almost certainly be exiled to accommodate LeBron’s massive salary. But Portland has a handful of productive young guys on manageable contracts to round out a solid supporting cast around the star tandem of LeBron and Damian Lillard. Both are great on-ball creators and scorers but also possess enough off-ball gravity to complement one another. The Dame/LeBron pick-and-roll would rival Curry/Durant as the most lethal in the NBA and the Blazers would have the personnel to play stretchy, interchangeable lineups around their two stars.
