Damian Lillard created one of the biggest twists of the NBA offseason when he submitted a trade request to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Dame has been the team’s star for the past 11 seasons, but the Blazers have not been a dominant team and the starting guard would like the opportunity to compete to win a championship.
It is clear that Lillard’s preferred destination is the Miami Heat, but no deal has been finalized at this time. With two months to go before the season starts, Lillard knows there is still time to make a deal with the Heat or any other potential Blazers trade partner.
Damian Lillard said his mood is pretty good this summer, despite so many market rumors about him and his farewell to Portland.
“I had a great summer of training. I do a lot of things to cheer myself up and it’s been very helpful. So I would say I’m in a very strong position. My process of approaching the season has been the same as any other time, except that I’m improving as a man. I think that helps me a lot in my career. Whenever I can improve as a man, it will be good for me.”
