In the current competitive realm of the NBA, it is extremely difficult to find superstars who represent one badge for their entire career. Damian Lillard to date has been one such exemplary name on the list. Dame has been a one-team man since the Portland Trail Blazers drafted him in 2012.
His recent activities, though, suggest that it may change that quite soon. Surprisingly enough, it coincides with Joel Embiid‘s future in the league.
