Damian Lillard has hoped for Portland to accommodate his trade request out of respect for both his resume and for his contributions to the Blazers’ franchise.

    As a Philly fan, I was hoping there was a chance we land him (especially if we could do it without giving up Maxey).

    Seeing this report, I’m glad we didn’t get him because he’s a punk-ass malcontent.

        The only source in the entire article is “a person familiar with Lillard’s thinking.”

        “He just wouldn’t go,” a person familiar with Lillard’s thinking told Sportsnaut. “He just wouldn’t report.”

        No actual quotes from Dame. Could just be his boy CJ stirring up some shit

        Edit:

        The Blazers are cognizant that the Brooklyn Nets declined to accommodate Kevin Durant’s trade request last summer until dealing him and T.J. Warren to the Phoenix Suns for Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder, four unprotected first-round picks (2023, 2025, 2027, 2029) and a 2208 pick swap.

        Yo I didn’t realize the Nets were collecting picks that far out. 2208 gonna be a wild draft
