There's no pressure whatsoever on them in "keeping the Superstar." Lillard isn't grumbling, isn't trying to leave, isn't making demands on them, not even a little bit. Just the opposite, in fact - he wants to be a Blazer for life, and says it willingly to anyone who asks.
No one is demanding they make a move or else.
Do they want to improve? Sure. Are they looking for ways to improve, while Lillard is still elite, so that they might win a title? Definitely. And maybe they see this as a great window to make a move, but not necessarily at any price borne of desperation.
The Timberwolves, not Portland.
