Do you miss watching Damian Lillard sinking shots from the logo? It has been a rough season for the Portland Trail Blazers without their key star, and there is no doubt that Lillard is loyal to the soil in Rip City.

Damian Lillard sticks it out through tough stretches with one franchise, and we all nod approvingly without thinking very hard about the logic of rooting for laundry. But then Ben Simmons and James Harden engineer controversial exits while still under contract, and we have to square our Lillard-inspired feelings with the understanding that most employees with leverage should use it to work where they want to.
