Los Angeles Lakers, who have been quite busy in highlight trades, were also in Lillard’s trade options. But the Portland guard recently cleared the air around this news because he isn’t packing his bags for LA.

Many have questioned Damian Lillard about his future with the Portland Trail Blazers. However, the answer hasn’t been transparent for most of his fans.

Journalist takes a dig at Lillard’s commitment issues with his team

Famous sports journalist Amin Elhassan talked about Lillard’s response to trade-related queries. He believes that Trail Blazers should be worrying about the uncertainty of their key player. “He’s (Lillard) definitely towing that line of being as delicate as possible without committing… If you actually listen to what he’s saying is like, ‘I haven’t formally demanded it but don’t sit and think that everything’s great. He’s making it clear, I’m not happy but stopping from saying, get me out of here.”

Blazers said goodbye to their veteran player Carmelo Anthony this summer. Anthony has signed with the Lakers squad. While his absence will prick the Blazers, they can’t afford to lose Dame as well. Lillard, who averaged 28.8 points in the 2020-21 season, is sailing with his feet in two boats. Do you think Portland Trail Blazers will find themselves in a dicey spot?
