It’s safe to say that things have been going south for Damian Lillard this offseason. The Portland Trail Blazers star, who announced his wish to trade, is yet to land a contract. On top of it, fans and NBA experts are all over the star point guard, decoding rumors and trade reports on him. Meanwhile, on the other hand, unfazed by the trade noise, 7x All-Star took to his social media and reflected on the recent disappointment of the Las Vegas Raiders.
James Harden and Lillard are the two hot prospects who are caught up in the long-standing trade fiasco. While Harden made several controversial statements regarding the trade, Dame never really opened up about the trade. On the other hand, he has dropped several cryptic messages on his X handle. Notably, hours before tweeting about Raiders, he shared Trae Young‘s controversial tweet.
