As trade rumors swirl around Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard, the 33-year-old guard recently opted to join the latest edition of Cam’Ron and Mase’s sports podcast It Is What It Is. While Lillard addressed a number of topics, a few of the most interesting tidbits actually had very little to do with the trade discussion or his future in Portland.
One specific piece of the conversation that jumped out was on the idea of Lillard playing for his hometown team, the Warriors. The seven-time NBA All-Star was quick to shut down the idea of joining Golden State, and his reasoning was interesting.
“As far as Golden State, I respect what they’ve been doing over the last eight, nine years, whatever. And I’m from there, obviously that’s home, but I can’t go be a part of that,” Lillard said.
