[Haynes] In Lillard's meeting with the Blazers last Monday it was 2 1/2 hours... in which he voiced his displeasure with the direction of the team and promises not kept

Haynes reports that 2 days before the draft Cronin called Lillard and said they weren't trading the pick

After that meeting the Blazers knew they had a few days to make a trade to show Dame that they're trying to give him a contending team

The vision wasn't kept and in his eyes the promises weren't kept

The timing of the trade request was so teams that might be interested didn't make trades elsewhere or sign players in that they wouldn't be able to trade for Lillard

Stein says that people he's talked to around the league are skeptical that Portland will be able to do deal with anyone but Miami
