But if the Blazers take the deal, then Pat Riley should be wearing a ski mask and driving a getaway car, because it would be grand larceny on a scale that even Danny Ocean would admire.
If Portland’s game plan is to appease Lillard rather than build a solid foundation for his successor, Scoot Henderson, then by all means, accept Miami’s best offer.
There’s no big lump of draft picks like the Nets received for Kevin Durant or the Jazz did for Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, and no key young players like the Pelicans got for Anthony Davis or the Thunder got for Paul George. This would go down as one of the worst trades in NBA history. Will Dame end up where he wants? Miami’s best offer could look something like this: Lillard wants to go to the Miami Heat to compete for a title with Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler. But Dame no longer believes the Blazers can offer him the best chance at winning a championship. Lillard averaged 32.2 points per game on 64.5 percent true shooting last season, so even now he’s still performing at a prime level. In 11 seasons with the franchise, he’s been named to seven All-Star teams, made seven All-NBA teams, and earned a spot on the NBA 75. On Saturday, reports dropped indicating that Dame has requested a trade from the Trail Blazers. This is the perfect resource for churches, small groups, and individuals who long not only to really know what and why they believe, but also to be equipped to explain the intellectual justification for their faith in everyday language.Time’s up for Damian Lillard in Portland. In Why I Believe, he gives compelling answers to questions about - the resurrection of Christ - the evidence of an afterlife -the accuracy and intellectual feasibility of the Bible - the debate between creation and evolution - the historicity of Jesus - and more The solid, biblical, logical answers he shares will satisfy the honest doubts that every believer experiences now and then, and will provide practical, thoughtful answers that can be shared with family and friends.
Bestselling author and teaching pastor at Living on the Edge, Chip Ingram, wants to change that.
The result is often intimidation, withdrawal, and even doubts among God's people about what we really believe. In our post-Christian, pluralistic society, responding to the perception that Christians are prejudiced, anti-intellectual, and bigoted has become a greater challenge than ever before.
