Damian Lillard continues to look to force his way out of Portland, having requested a trade from the Trail Blazers. Lillard has reportedly set his sights on joining the Heat, but it doesn’t appear every NBA player is a fan of the veteran point guard’s decision.
Austin Rivers chimed in on Lillard’s situation during a recent episode of his podcast, calling the seven-time All-Star’s trade request “bad for the league.”
“If you’re a free agent then you can choose where you’re gonna go. That’s the business. But when you’re not and you sign a deal ... that’s part of the business. If you get traded somewhere, you gotta go play,” said Rivers.
