It was the drama of the summer for Rip City: would Damian Lillard stay with the Portland Trail Blazers, or would the promise of a more immediate championship lure him somewhere else? According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports, Lillard met with LeBron James and Anthony Davis over the summer as he weighed his options in order to hear about their experiences in joining the Los Angeles Lakers.
“’Bron asked what I was thinking with my situation, and I told him what I’m telling you: that I just want to be in a position to win it all,” Lillard told Yahoo Sports.
