Despite being the franchise cornerstone, Damian Lillard was expected to be traded by the end of this offseason. However, a few days back, the Portland Trail Blazers organization shut down the calls for a Lillard trade. Nonetheless, fans still believe the 7-time All-Star might don another jersey come October. Lillard added fuel to the fire with his song choice during an Instagram Live last night. After an update on the newest addition to the Blazers franchise, Scoot Henderson, things further escalated, which has caused quite a stir on the internet.?

All things considered, the fans believe the 19-year-old might be the last one standing in Portland!

Is Damian Lillard giving subtle hints?

Damian Lillard was seen in a club vibing to Will Smith’s ‘Welcome to Miami‘. NBA fans assumed that the veteran shooter was hinting at his exit, which they mentioned in the comments. However, Lillard had nothing to say but just smirked at the fans’ comments.

After the video went viral on social media platforms, Lillard’s agent decided to clarify a few things. Aaron Goodwin shared,?“The music was just a coincidence. There would be no reason for him to do that. That?s why he laughed. It?s a funny coincidence that a DJ would put that on.”?

Well, that did instill hope back in the Blazers’ fans until a 19-year-old decided to crush it. No.3 overall pick Scoot Henderson’s jersey number was revealed by Etienne Catalan, which sent the fans in denial. Moreover, fans believe this decision from the young guard is disrespectful to a 10-time All-Star.?What is the number Scoot Henderson has decided to wear??

Fans give the red flag to Scoot Henderson’s unexpected decision

Carmelo Anthony made an impact during his two-year tenure with the Trail Blazers. Though he did not bag his first ring, the Blazers’ fans loved Melo’s time with the team. The 10-time All-Star wore the famous number, ’00’ for the franchise. And no, it will be worn by Scoot.

However, fans do not seem to approve of it. Lillard is also currently wearing ‘0’, which has pushed the fans to believe Henderson will take the spot of the superstar eventually.
