Damian Lillard has become one of the hottest topics in the NBA in recent days, as the Portland Trail Blazers player is still mentioned in trade rumors, with some already identifying what teams he could join if he decides to leave his first and only NBA team.
Lillard knows everybody is waiting for something to happen, and he seems to have fun with this situation. For instance, he shared a cryptic message on Instagram showing his iconic ‘Dame Time’ celebration and a mysterious caption.
“♾⌚️ ,” were the only three emojis he used for this post.
Seeing how things are going with Lillard and knowing that whatever he does, people will pay attention, a lot of fans reacted to this post. Some urged him to demand a trade and join different teams, and others tried to find an explanation for this post.
“Dame trust your gut. We need you in pdx. You know this your team.”
“Blazer fan, but if you want out you’ll still be my favourite player. Go to Miami & get a ring with Jimmy!”
“Demand a trade to Miami rn and play game 4.
“Dame just come to Chicago n grab a ring bro!!”
“translation: it’s time to leave.”
“WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ⁉️⁉️⁉️”
“Time to catch a flight to LA ⌚️.”
” ⏳”
Lillard is still one of the best players in the league, which is why so many teams would like to have his services. The former Rookie of the Year has pleaded his loyalty to the Trail Blazers, but Dame knows that if the team can’t assemble a competitive squad, he won’t hesitate to ask out.
Damian Lillard Has Been Linked With At Least Four NBA Teams
Having said that, the player has been linked with a series of teams around the league. The Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, and even the Phoenix Suns have all been mentioned in Lillard rumors.
The point guard is having a great moment individually speaking. He’s averaged 25.2 PPG, 4.2 RPG, and 6.7 APG over 769 games for the Trail Blazers, becoming a big figure within the organization.
In the 2022-23 NBA season, he posted 32.2 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds in 58 games this season, shooting 46.3% from the field, 37.1% from beyond the arc, and 91.4% from the free-throw line.
Dame has shut down the Heat links, and he’s reportedly not interested in playing for the Boston Celtics either. The Brooklyn Nets appear to be a good landing spot for him, but time will tell how this situation unfolds.
