Damian Lillard's faith in the Portland Trail Blazers' ability to build a championship contender around him has finally reached a breaking point, as the seven-time All-Star point guard requested a trade from the franchise that selected him No. 6 overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, according to Yahoo Sports' Vince Goodwill.
,"I do." He called himself"naturally a loyal person" who has rebuffed repeated urges from people around him to request a trade, feeling a title chase elsewhere would be less rewarding.
The shift from McCollum to another, younger undersized shooting guard, Anfernee Simons, plus a pair of top-10 draft additions, signaled that the Blazers were no longer putting their best foot forward to win now. Our first indication that Lillard's faith in the Blazers may have been waning came earlier in June, when. Asked about hypothetical deals for four rumored destinations — the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat and New York Knicks — Lillard openly preferred the Heat and Nets, given respective relationships with Bam Adebayo and Mikal Bridges and both teams' roster construction. Still, Lillard expected to start the 2023-24 season in Portland.
