Let Damian go.

It gives him a better shot at rewarding his prodigious talent. The team hasn't done that. By contrast, Damian's departure rewards the Blazers with players in trade. Do it now.

They'll keep Lillard for as long as he's willing to stay, and do what little they can to convince him and everyone else they're building a contender around him. They'll do this because Lillard sells tickets, and money is all that matters. So get ready to see the #3 pick traded for some random good-but-not-great veteran, similar to Jerami Grant, then squint at the roster and try to conjure thoughts of how a rag-tag bunch could get hot at just the right time next spring. Then get ready for the third straight season of tanking next February, when the inevitable mediocrity becomes reality and the "injuries" pile up. Rinse. Repeat.
