Trail Blazers GM Joe Cronin said Monday that he will be patient in finding the best return for Portland as he seeks to trade Damian Lillard. “We’re going to see how this lands. And if it takes months, it takes months.” More from jwquick:
“We’re going to do what’s best for our team,’’ Cronin told reporters at the Las Vegas Summer League. “We’re going to see how this lands. And if it takes months, it takes months.’’Lillard requested a trade from the Blazers, where he starred for his first 11 seasons, on July 1
because he didn’t feel the Blazers were building a winner around him. Cronin on Monday admitted he “failed” Lillard but added he wished he was given more time to execute trades. “I don’t feel that I did everything I could because I didn’t get done what I needed to get done,’’ Cronin said. “In that sense, I do feel like I failed Dame. Our goal was to win now as quickly as possible. If he didn’t feel that way, it was a failure on my end.’’When Lillard requested the trade, Cronin said he felt a “jolt,” and when the request specified Miami as the destination, it complicated his ability to get the best return.
“Dame is obviously a very important person and player to us. What the rest of his career looks like matters to us, and we care about that,’’ Cronin said. “At the same time, we have to do what’s best for us. We’ve got to find the right deal and find the right makeup of the team we are going to build forward with. You hope you find that perfect situation where that lines up and he goes to a place he wants to and you get the best return possible.
