It must be really devastating for Portland to hear about this from Lillard. His last season performance was also incredible as he had an average of 32 points scored. But all this high effort was for nothing because Portland were still a mess as they couldn't even make it to the playoffs. Lillard still wanted to stay for many years here.
Of course, he is the face of Portland for more than 10 years. He was already in Portland before the Warriors established themselves as a dynasty. So this might be in Dame's mind to see his contemporaries win multiple championships while he did have his best seasons and his prime years with Portland and yet they can't even get to the finals.
However maybe from now on he wants to go to a team that can be more successful in a season. He deserves to be champion before retirement in my opinion. He is soon becoming 33 years old. I hope he can have a good trade for himself to play bigger.
His request is very clear, he wanted to be in Miami. But not sure how Miami can deal with it, or who are they going to trade just to get Lillard with them. Perhaps Kyle Lowry, Hero or Robinson might the players that might likely be in the block.
