Amid the Miami Heat Rumors, 7-Word Message From Damian Lillard Irks NBA Fans

It has been a few weeks since All-Star point guard Damian Lillard requested a trade from the Portland Trail Blazers. Dame?s trade request has been specific, stating he would like to play for the Miami Heat next. However, the two teams have yet to come to an agreement surrounding a trade package for Lillard. And now, things are starting to irk the NBA community online.

Despite weeks to prepare, the Miami Heat has not been able to come up with a package for Damian Lillard. Moreover, the NBA star is now being trolled by fans after his latest online interaction.

Damian Lillard’s seven-word message

This NBA offseason saw some big names already change teams within a span of days. Yet the Portland Trail Blazers and the Miami Heat are still stuck in a rut with what trade package would be appropriate for a player like Damian Lillard.

There has been no argument in the fact that Lillard has been more than loyal to the city of Portland. He gave 11 seasons to the team and tried his best to bring them their first championship in franchise history.

After Portland pulled the plug on not adding stars and going in the direction of a rebuild, Lillard asked for an exit. The team is yet to honor his request. As the world awaits, Lillard sent out a seven-word tweet.

While the exact meaning and purpose behind Damian Lillard?s tweet remains a guesswork, fans are already livid with Lillard?s post. One fan tweeted, ?Ran from the grind smh.?

While another fan commented, ?Stop running from the grind Lame time.?
