Damian Lillard Wants Out Of Portland
11 months agoPortland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard has requested a trade away from the team. Adrian Wojnarowski also reports that the organization is likely to accommodate him. The Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, and Los Angeles Clippers are some of the leading suitors for Lillard's services, per Woj. Besides re-signing Jerami Grant, the Blazers seem to have left the 32-year-old Lillard little choice, failing to satisfy the superstar's desires in building the group to win now. Portland spent their No. 3 overall pick on playmaking guard Scoot Henderson instead of potentially swapping the pick for a veteran player(s). With two years left under his current contract, the sharpshooting Lillard's 11-year "Rip City" tenure appears to be on the verge of concluding.
