Here's what led to fizzling between the Blazers and Damian Lillard and a trade to the Bucks.
Cronin says he “failed” Lillard, adding that he wishes he had more time to make trades.. “In that sense, I do feel like I failed Dame. Our goal was to win now as quickly as possible. If he didn’t feel that way, it was a failure on my end.”Cronin adds that “building around Dame has always been the goal, all the way even through the draft,” but the team had difficulty finding the right deals.
“Each time we tried to weigh that — in Shaedon’s draft, pick seven, what does that look like versus what’s available in the market? And the answer was obvious: Shaedon is better. Same thing happened this time, what does pick three look like versus the return to market? It wasn’t close; had to go three.
“We’re going to do what’s best for our team,” Cronin says. “We’re going to see how this lands. And if it takes months, it takes months.”
