The controversial saga between the Portland Trail Blazers and Damian Lillard has been the storyline of the NBA summer since the seven-time All-Star requested a trade from the franchise on July 1.
Since that date, national media pundits and fans have taken turns providing opinions and speculation about the situation. Recently, NBA great and TNT media personality Charles Barkley voiced his stance on the standoff between franchise and star.
During an appearance this week on The Ringer’s “Bill Simmons Podcast,” Sir Charles called Lillard’s request “unfair” to the Blazers, specifically his wish to only be traded to the Miami Heat.
