Damian Lillard is in the news – and probably for the right reasons. The NBA Draft is upon us. News about who’s going where and waiting to go where is making the rounds. Some of the news is going viral. That’s making NBA fans come up with their conjectures about what’s going to happen next. Nobody is ready to confirm where Damian Lillard is going, or whether he’ll stay with Portland Trailblazers. Some NBA stars have started talking, and so have the fans. It all began with Chris Hayne’s tweet about Damian Lillard not having any talks with Portland Trail Blazers about his immediate NBA future, including draft and free agency status.
Then, there was information that the team drafted Scoot Henderson. During a media interaction, he said that he is looking forward to playing with Damian Lillard on the same team. While Scoot has made his ideas clear speaking to Blazer’s Edge, the fans are saying something different – and of course, everything is speculation at the moment. And before we forget, Joe Cronin has gone on to say that he is looking forward to having a long playing future with Damian and that he is in contact with Damian’s agent. But as we well know, it’s never done until it’s done.? Probably that’s the reason social media is erupting with conjectures about Damian’s future.
