Brian Windhorst was on ESPN and had the Sixers and Damian Lillard on the brain:

"He doesn't want to put pressure on the 7-… on the Six-… on the Blazers."

It’s a done deal! Windy has been spinning circles around the competition for the last year and a half in the background. Remember when Woj was adamant the Sixers couldn’t get Harden for Ben Simmons until the 11th hour? Windy was all over it from the start. He introduced us to the Deal Zone for God’s sake! From Windy’s lips to God’s ears! Damian Lillard might not be forcing a trade now, but we know Lillard is the most hot and cold player ever. One minute he doesn’t want to run from the grind and the next he doesn’t believe in the Blazers’ future. He’s like your wife trying to pick a restaurant.

Windy also reported on ESPN Cleveland that there was some “outlandish stuff” that could be pieced together using social media:

"I have some speculation, there's a couple of outlandish stuff that I'm not going to say right now because I'd get in trouble… I wish I could tell you more and I know I shouldn't tease you," – @WindhorstESPN on Cavs FA rumors.

No rumors on Twitter have been juicier than Tobias Harris and the Cavs’ interest. Could it be a three-teamer involving the Sixers, Cavs, and the Blazers? Was Keith Pompey right all along, but he just mixed up the key details?

“Last week, sources told The Inquirer the Sixers are overvaluing Harris and asking for “outrageous packages in return.” That goes in line with what a source said the Sixers told the Cavs what it would take days before the draft: A package of Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, and a draft pick.”

Not to mention, the Sixers are perfect for Lillard’s demands:

Chris Haynes says Damian Lillard doesn’t want to play for a ‘stacked’ team

“He doesn’t want to be on a team where it’s just 3 All-Stars or 3 superstars… He just wants a team that has a shot.”
