Many fans were left deciphering the message hidden in Damian Lillard’s recent statement. Meanwhile, others felt that Lillard was talking about leaving Portland, riling up a number of emotions among fans.

Are LeBron James and co. aiming to acquire Lillard?

Earlier this month, rumors began to fly after NBA Insider Jovan Buha reported that the Lakers were interested in bidding for a number of players including Portland’s Damian Lillard, Brooklyn’s Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards.

As per Buha, “In the ultimate pie-in-the-sky scenario, the Lakers have interest in?Kevin Durant,?Damian Lillard,?and?Bradley Beal if any of the three stars were to become available.”

However, the best Lakers have to offer is an aging Russell Westbrook and two first-round picks. Given the limited options the Lakers have to offer, it is highly unlikely that they would be able to get any of the major stars in the league even if they are available. Meanwhile, Lillard recently signed a two-year extension with Portland until the 2026-27 season. The contract’s estimated worth is $225 million. Thus, it seems unlikely at the moment that the LeBron James-led Lakers would get Lillard.
