But now the offseason rumor mill is brewing with chatter about Dame possibly heading to a new team, and his next-team odds are on the move.
Will Lillard remain loyal to the Blazers? Or will he end up with a contender in search of a championship?
Let’s dive into the hypothetical odds:

The Miami Heat are the favorites to land Lillard if he does exit from Portland. The star guard would be the perfect addition to a Jimmy Butler & Co. coming off an NBA Finals loss.
Though Lillard has many potential suitors, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the Blazers plan to keep the guard for now. But a lot of things can still happen between now and the NBA Draft.
