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.
I like Dame and feel like if he had gone about this better he would’ve came out with minimal hate but waiting until after the grant deal, only wanting to be dealt to Miami, and now threatening to sit out is a bit much.
Like he’s earned a bit of choice in wanting to go to a contender with all he’s done for Portland but if you force yourself out this kind of way you burn up your goodwill pretty quick
