This Team is the Odds-On Favorite to Get Damian Lillard

Although Damian Lillard threw some cold water on major trade rumors last week, the Portland Trail Blazer star didn't close the door on possibly leaving his team, saying that he hasn't made a firm decision of what's next for him. That statement alone is enough to get people speculating about where one of the NBA's best point guards might go.

According to betting site BetOnline.ag, the New York Knicks still have the biggest chance to get Lillard in the offseason. The Knicks have been the presumptive favorite for some time. The idea of Lillard playing alongside Julius Randle is a fearsome concept for many in the NBA. Lillard could really take them to the next level. That's why they are pegged at +160 to nab him.

Who else is in the running, according to the betting professionals? The Philadelphia 76ers aren't too far behind the Knicks, with +225. The Warriors are +400, the Heat are +700, and the Clippers and Lakers both earned +750. Those numbers aren't very different from previous rumors we have seen.

All of this is just pure speculation of course until Lillard announces any official decision. There's a good chance he stays put in Portland. But if he does decide to depart, he has a number of teams who would gladly welcome him with open arms.
