[Jackson] Per Windhorst on ESPN today, Lillard did not ask for trade during meeting yesterday, “doesn’t want to put pressure on the Blazers” and is going to give them time to see what they can do in free agency.

One day I hope to marry someone as loyal to me as Dame is to Portland
Shut the fuck up. Please.
Honestly I feel bad for Blazer fans. There is no good outcome.
Does he remain focused on winning though?
I feel a bit like Owen Wilson right now
Oh wow
You smart. You loyal. You’re grateful. I appreciate that
The definition of insanity is repeating the definition of insanity over and over and then claiming that it was said by Albert Einstein
or
expecting Lillard to run from the grind.
as a Dame fan
OH MY FUCKING GOD
Can’t the Blazers just make a fucking decision
I know he is a franchise hero but damn make a decision for your organization and your team
Yawn.
I knew we’d get a report like this after that statement last night. Gonna have to deal with this shit for another 2 weeks I guess. Just want it over with already
It simply seems like Dame can’t ask for a trade. He will feel like he betrayed Portland and probably doesn’t want to be remember as forcing his way out (Portland fans at this point are going to love him regardless and will understand if he asks for a trade).
Either ask for a trade or shut the fuck up about it.
Trade away Simons and Nurkic for the best you can get to compete now. Then you still have Scoot and Sharpe, who will probably develop better playing on a team trying to win rather than another 12 seed
Hell is just non-stop Dame trade blue balls
Ofc he didnt ask for a trade, he was posturing about loyalty for years, openly criticising other players for forcing trades and making super teams etc now he dig a hole for himself where he cant ask for a trade without looking like a fool.
“Doesn’t want to put pressure” on them while they are literally at a fork in the road. Guess they’ll just camp out at the fork, then.
He should give them an answer before they give Grant 30 million
SOMEONE needs to rip the bandaid off.
This is the most annoying story right now.
This is doing more harm to the Blazers than good. Their free agency decisions with Dame are totally different than their ones without him.
One year from now: after a disappointing 39-43 season Damian Lillard and the Blazers remain committed to bringing a championship to Portland
Man, this really does look like the kind of relationship where they’re better off breaking up, but neither side wants to bring it up because they don’t want to look like the bad guy.
Time to mute “dame Lillard” on Twitter. This saga is so blehhh. Goes to show how little there is to talk about with this FA class lol
Dude. Dame. Are they gonna trade Scoot or not. That’s all you need to know.
Just trade him and rebuild already.
So can Dame leave us alone then?
same thing every offseason lmao
Damian Lillard has twin two-year olds and is very committed to his wife. I’m convinced he’s resistant to leaving mostly because either moving his family right now or being away from his family for more of the year right now would be unnecessarily difficult for him and his wife with their kids, and if tens of millions of dollars can’t buy you that what are they good for? Come back when the kids are preschool age.
It’s always been about the money.
Mf won 26 games last season what is he expecting Lmfso
