Damian Lillard Responds to Reports of Him Joining Los Angeles Lakers or New York Knicks

During his time with Weber State University, Damian Lillard wasn’t really considered a big option. Well, he defied critics and went sixth in the 2012 NBA Draft. The Portland Trail Blazers superstar came this far thanks to his hard work and determination. Now there are so many rumors about the great Damian Lillard, New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers.

Today, Lillard is the highest-paid Blazers player. His contract ends after the 2020-21 season. Lillard is due to sign a big deal with the team upon the end of the current contract. Will this really happen? This is one of the biggest question at the moment.

Some fans believe that Lillard will stay with the Blazers team. Others are convinced that he is stuck there, adding that he has to go somewhere. There are so many rumors about Lillard moving to LA or New York. Maybe the second scenario is a real thing if you take into consideration Mike Berman’s report.

One may say that a “disgruntled” player like Lillard may look for a trade from the Trail Blazers. Now we have Lillard and his comments on the topic. He came out and said that the rumors aren’t true.

There weren’t too many events this offseason. NBA players were stuck at home, and the quarantine thing didn’t really do any harm. They had a lot of fun at home and got enough time to relax. That’s why some people decided to spice things up and relese rumors. This leads us to the rumors about Lillard’s request for a trade.

Damian Lillard won’t go to New York

Lillard wants everyone to know that fans shouldn’t pay attention to the rumors. Can you imagine him play alongside LeBron and Anthony Davis? That’s more than awesome. NBA fans would love to see this. Well, for the awesome Lillard, “Portland is where his heart is.”

The superstar said there was a lack of content. The rumors will disappear on their own. Lillard is a talented point guard and he has so much to do. The NBA season will resume in Orlando, and playing in the bubble gives players enough pressure. And the motivation to win.
