“I’ll Continue and I’ll Finish”: Damian Lillard Has a Message for Portland With $7,000,000 Commitment Amid Miami Trade Rumors

Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard has made it clear he wants to be traded to the Miami Heat. But he has made a statement to stay committed to the city of Portland in the meantime. The climax is nearing an end after Dame has officially asked to move on from the team after spending almost his entire career there. Amidst the trade speculations linking him to the Miami Heat, Lillard has made a statement that resonates with his loyalty to the city he has called home for several years.

Lillard’s commitment to Portland goes beyond his NBA association. He has a $7 million house in Portland, which he purchased for $2.8 million and is now valued at 7 Million. 

Lillard’s Love for Portland City is evident

Despite the uncertainty in the Blazers, Dame has expressed his love and commitment to Portland. “I love the city of Portland,” Lillard said. “Every initiative that I’ve started, I’ll continue and I’ll finish regardless of anything”. This statement comes as a testament to Lillard’s deep-rooted connection with the city and its people. 

Lillard’s commitment to the city extends beyond the basketball court. Lillard’s decision to buy a home in Portland is a sign that he is not planning on leaving the city anytime soon. Even if he is traded to the Heat, he is likely to keep his home in Portland and continue to be involved in the city’s community.

The Miami Heat Trade Rumors

While Lillard’s love for Portland remains strong, rumors about his potential move to the Miami Heat have been strong. Recent reports suggest that the Heat are prepared to offer a trade package centered around Tyler Herro. Possibly including Duncan Robinson and picks. However, these are still speculations and no official statements have been made by either team.

Lillard’s desire for a championship is also been reported multiple times. His dissatisfaction with Portland is a driving factor behind his trade request.
