TrueHoop’s Henry Abbott has doubled down on last week’s bombshell story that claimed Damian Lillard is expected to ask the Portland Trail Blazers for a trade. The TrueHoop co-founder has gone on to suggest there is a rift between the star point guard and the Blazers organization.
Last Friday, Portland-based Abbott broke the news that a “source close to Lillard” believed a trade request was days away.
In response, Lillard refuted the claim to reporters at a Team USA press conference that same day, but said more needed to be done to address the holes on the Blazers’ roster.
