The fate of the Portland Trail Blazers hangs on Damian Lillard, the best player in the new millennium and perhaps the best player in the history of the franchise, period. Losing Lillard would mean more than 28 points per game down the tubes. The entire organization revolves around him. Any trade involving the All-Star point guard would mean a change of eras, not just of lineups.
With Lillard rumblings increasing across the NBA and trade suggestions starting to float, just in case he wants out, we tackle this question from the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
Dave,
Dame has said he’s upset with fans and I’m worried about his loyalty not being repaid and him leaving.
