Damian Lillard: ‘I Still Have Love for Portland’

Damian Lillard, a guard for the Portland Trail Blazers, is reliable at one thing: being unpredictable.

Lillard used Instagram to once more express his gratitude for the city of Portland during a wild offseason.

“You know it’s all love on my behalf,” Lillard said in a video posted Saturday night. “It’s bulletproof … Bulletproof Love for PDX, baby. You already know.”

Seven-time All-Star Lillard has made no secret of the fact that he wants to leave Portland and sign with the Miami Heat this offseason. The offseason’s most talked-about ongoing saga is this one. According to reports, the Heat have made a trade offer that includes Tyler Herro, the 2022 Sixth Man of the Year, as well as a number of draft assets.

If the Miami Heat sign Damian Lillard, according to Paul Pierce, they will have trouble.
