Wayne has also often complimented Lillard. He believes that if Lillard only starts to rap, he will make money out of it. “He’d do awesome,” Lil Wayne said while speaking to The Undefeated. “I think he’d do well. Dame is Dame off the court as well in the music game”.
The 31-year-old has recently also addressed trade questions, stating how he is not leaving. At least not yet. The Trail Blazers, led by Lillard himself, is yet to win a title. Rumors about Lillard playing for another team have been around for a while now, often shut down by the Trail Blazers icon himself.
