The Portland Trail Blazers had a rough season. And to make it even worse, the rumor mill surrounding their star point guard has been in full swing. With a recent history of lukewarm postseasons, the Trail Blazers are on the cusp of rebuilding. They even have a strong young core with Scoot Henderson joining Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe. Amidst all this, Portland’s franchise player Damian Lillard recently dropped a cryptic tweet. It got everyone guessing what he meant and sparked more discussions about the star’s future.

As the rumors keep swirling, Dame Dolla has held his ground. What’s more, he’s found an unexpected ally in a Boston Celtics legend. Let’s look at Dame’s recent tweet that turned some heads.

Lillard’s exceptional performance on the court has never been in question. However, Portland’s failure to reach the playoffs this year has led to some speculation on the team’s future. As has been the trend, trade rumors swirled around their star point guard.

Despite maintaining that he intends to remain in Portland, Lillard has constantly been in rumors – whether it be with the Miami Heat or the Los Angeles Lakers. After another off-season where trade scenarios for the 7-time All-Star were the talk of the town, Dame took to social media to speak on his mindset.

Lillard tweeted, “Survived too many storms to be bothered by Raindrops.”
