“I mean, who wouldn’t want to go to The Finals every year? I think they’ve been to the Finals the last three years,” Lillard said.
Damian Lillard who averaged 26 points last year was left out of the NBA all star games.
This could lead many to believe he felt his chances were not good with the Trail Blazers.
The Blazers seem stuck in the middle last year with a record of 41-41.
This indicates that the Trailblazers need to put together a team that is capable of winning a championship.
Although some think these 2 should swap spots it is likely that Damian Lillard in Cleveland would not work.
Lebron James has said multiple times he seeks a new play maker without being specific on any player.
Damian Lillard is better suited as a primary shooter with dominate ball handling skills, His position on the Trailblazers is suited well for him.
The Blazers will most likely put the team around him that he seeks to compete at the level he is wanting some stars don’t make it to the finals until later dates in their respective careers.
No matter what happens with Damian Lillard he will eventually be acknowledge for what he does on the basketball court and his chances to win a championship will come.
