So Portland indeed held out for what they thought was the best deal for them instead of Lillard's "demand" that he only play in Miami.

It's interesting to see the final haul for the Blazers, especially that Jrue Holiday is not immediately re-routed to a 3rd team. They're obviously comfortable in thinking they can get that done soon for some assets, something they must not have felt when it came to Zach LaVine. And even at his current contract, Deandre Ayton has more value than Patrick Williams.

in conclusion: no Bulls fault! couldn't beat this offer because they're in an even worse position asset-wise than a team that won the title two years ago.

Of course the Bulls should look to trade Zach LaVine for Damian Lillard
