Nuggets Strike Gold, Acquire All-Star Guard Damian Lillard in Blockbuster Trade!
– The Denver Nuggets have made a major move, acquiring All-Star guard Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers in a multi-player trade.
– Lillard, a six-time NBA All-Star, averaged 32.2 points and 6.8 assists per game last season.
– The Nuggets sent guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, forward Michael Porter Jr., and two first-round draft picks to Portland in exchange for Lillard and forward Jerami Grant.
– The move bolsters the Nuggets’ chances of a deep playoff run, pairing Lillard with reigning MVP Nikola Jokić and a strong supporting cast.
– “Damian is a generational talent, and we’re thrilled to welcome him to the Nuggets family,” said Denver GM Calvin Booth. “This move puts us in prime position to contend for a championship.”
