Damian Lillard‘s tenure with the Portland Trailblazers might come to an end. Averaging more than 25 points in 11 long seasons, it’s no doubt Lillard is the core of Portland. However, the team’s inefficiency to build a supporting cast around the 7-time All-Star has always been a problem. Considering the Trailblazers’ disappointing run this season and Lillard’s latest cryptic tweet, the offseason might be a treat for the fans. Is Dame D.O.L.L.A leaving the Blazers? 

While that question stands unanswered, several trade rumors have already started to cloud around the 2012 first pick. Though many believed Lillard has a strong will to be a franchise player, his latest “trade me” claims might be a stunner for the fans. 

Damian Lillard responds to a fan’s tweet with a cryptic reply

The Blazers finished as the 13th seed in a tight Western Conference this year. Lillard missed the first half of the season due to injuries. Though he played a total of 58 games, the Blazers couldn’t stand the late play-in competition, as they fell short by one seed. Following the elimination, the 32-year-old was seen courtside in a few playoff games, which has led the fans to question his future with the Blazers. 

Lillard was seen courtside for a game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets in round 1. Later in the second round, he was again joined by Odell Beckham Jr. for another game between the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets. His recent appearances and his latest tweets have led fans to speculate about his future with other teams.

Yet again, Lillard has created a buzz on social media. A Blazers fan was disappointed about the trade rumors clouding the 7-time All-Star. However, Lillard sparked Twitter with a reply to the fan. The Blazers’ star replied, “If the fans wana trade me … start the petition and send it in.”

What might be the reason for Lillard to leave the Trailblazers?

The Portland Trailblazers have missed the playoff for two straight seasons. Ever since the departure of CJ McCollum, looks like Lillard has not found a perfect teammate to depend on. Jerami Grant joined the Blazers, however, couldn’t help the team to make it to the postseason. The mediocre bench and absence of a supportive cast might cost the Blazers Lillard this offseason.
