Damian Lillard has preached loyalty to the Trail Blazers throughout the franchise’s repeated woes over the last few years. When other superstars fled their teams in free agency or via trade requests, he stayed put. But it’s been 11 years since Portland drafted him and it appears he’s reached his limit.
Lillard has requested a trade from the franchise and fans have criticized him for wanting out after so much talk of wanting to stay put. On Sunday, he addressed the criticism and is looking for answers.
“It’s in my blood to take the high road,” he wrote on Twitter. “I’d love to hear what fans are turning on… have I mislead them? Or anyone ? Fill me in.”
