LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are in Portland tonight readying themselves to take on the red-hot Trail Blazers.

Following his comments lauding Damian Lillard at Thursday's pregame shootaround, Trail Blazers fans are getting excited about the possibility of luring James away from the Cavaliers and helping him blaze a trail to Portland.

James will likely be the most coveted free agent this summer if he decides to opt out of his current deal. But that scenario hinges on the Cavaliers performance in the postseason and whether or not he feels he has a better chance to contend with another organization. Several of the latest rumors swirling around the league have indicated James could bolt Cleveland and join the Los Angeles Lakers.

But what if the Blazers could get into that mix? Does LeBron respect Lillard enough to join him in Rip City?

The short answer: No.

With their roster and salary cap situation, it would be virtually impossible to sign James without Portland clearing out a host of their current players to make room for what would have to be a max contract for James.

Despite the long odds, some Portland residents are doing their part to try and bring LeBron to Rip City. The guys behind 'Trillblazin,' the popular Trail Blazers fan account and clothing line, have started a Go Fund Me account and are attempting to raise funds in order to pay for a billboard inviting James to sign with the Trail Blazers.

Here's a look:
