Damian Lillard became the center of NBA news this morning after a report from Henry Abbott of TrueHoop cited a source indicating that Lillard was ready to make a trade demand to leave the Portland Trail Blazers. Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports also released an interview with Lillard which, though less pointed, revealed frustration and a desire for change from the six-time NBA All-Star.
Lillard is currently in Las Vegas, Nevada practicing as part of Team USA in preparation for the 2021 Summer Olympics. The Haynes report indicated that Lillard would address the trade demand issue in a press conference following that practice.
