Having “Survived Too Many Storms”, 32YO Damian Lillard Finds a Helping Hand in Celtics Legend

The Portland Trail Blazers had a rough season. And to make it even worse, the rumor mill surrounding their star point guard has been in full swing. With a recent history of lukewarm postseasons, the Trail Blazers are on the cusp of rebuilding. They even have a strong young core with Scoot Henderson joining Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe. Amidst all this, Portland’s franchise player Damian Lillard recently dropped a cryptic tweet. It got everyone guessing what he meant and sparked more discussions about the star’s future.

As the rumors keep swirling, Dame Dolla has held his ground. What’s more, he’s found an unexpected ally in a Boston Celtics legend. Let’s look at Dame’s recent tweet that turned some heads.

Damian Lillard pens a cryptic message on his Twitter

Lillard’s exceptional performance on the court has never been in question. However, Portland’s failure to reach the playoffs this year has led to some speculation on the team’s future. As has been the trend, trade rumors swirled around their star point guard.

Despite maintaining that he intends to remain in Portland, Lillard has constantly been in rumors – whether it be with the Miami Heat or the Los Angeles Lakers. After another off-season where trade scenarios for the 7-time All-Star were the talk of the town, Dame took to social media to speak on his mindset.

Lillard tweeted, “Survived too many storms to be bothered by Raindrops.”

The enigmatic message quickly went viral and ignited speculation among fans.

Dame’s determination and commitment to greatness are unquestionable. With 11 seasons under his belt, Damian Lillard is a composed veteran. A cold-blooded killer who knows his worth despite the noise surrounding him. His tweet seemed to very much echo that sentiment, as he displayed his mature and seasoned outlook.

A former NBA champion and Defensive Player of the Year praised the Portland star’s game recently. But he also hinted that a trade might be best for the All-NBA point guard.

Amidst the rumors and uncertainty, Kevin Garnett, a Celtics legend known for his fierce competitiveness, recently voiced his admiration for Lillard. In a preview clip for an upcoming episode of his Showtime podcast, Garnett praised Lillard’s talent and suggested that it might be better suited elsewhere. He said he wants Damian to team up with other greats, explaining, “Imagine what Dame could be like around another player of his caliber“.

Of course, Lillard deserves to be on a team that could contend for an NBA championship. But Dame has been an avid opponent of the superteam model. With some experience in that regard, Garnett said, “I’ve done this work, I made this house I built it, it’s time to leave this house and go build another one somewhere.”

Dame’s cryptic tweet sparked intrigue and led to a wave of speculation. However, Garnett’s words reminded everyone of the talented point guard’s worth.  Fans are curious to see how the situation develops within the Portland Trail Blazers.
