Damian Lillard Wants Cowboys' George Pickens Traded to Raiders Ahead of NFL Deadline
After the Las Vegas Raiders had their three-game win streak snapped with a 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, NBA star Damian Lillard had some advice for his favorite NFL team.
The Portland Trail Blazers veteran point guard took to social media to declare that the Raiders should pursue Dallas Cowboys star receiver George Pickens ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline.

Schefter's Top Trade Targets 🎯
Pickens is set to become a free agent after this season, so the Cowboys could dangle him at the trade deadline to avoid losing him for nothing. Through four games, the 2025 Pro Bowler has caught 18 passes for 225 yards with no touchdowns.
The Raiders didn't have a receiver reach the 100-yard mark in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, with tight end Brock Bowers leading the team with 86 yards and a touchdown on six catches. Adding a star receiver like Pickens would certainly create a new dimension for Las Vegas' offense, so perhaps Lillard is on to something.
The Raiders (3-1) will try to bounce back when they face the New England Patriots (2-2) in Week 5.
