Damian Lillard is bemused at the idea of Portland Trail Blazers fans having any negative words to say about him despite his trade request.
The superstar point guard has been loyal to the team throughout his 11 years in the league, having the opportunity to leave earlier in his career but staying in a bid to win a championship in Portland.
But being frustrated with the team's direction, after drafting a point guard in Scoot Henderson and choosing not to trade the pick for a star player, Lillard does not see the team contending any time soon and has made it clear that he wants to win an NBA championship.
