The Los Angeles Lakers are still trying to upgrade their roster around LeBron James, but another star seems to be hinting that he wouldn’t mind being part of that solution.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard went out of his way Wednesday morning to give some fuel to fan chatter about a trade to the Lakers.
Will anything happen? Almost certainly not. It would be very difficult to match up, and that’s assuming Portland would even want to make such a move, which they almost certainly don’t.
It’s interesting that Lillard would even say anything, though. He could have easily ignored the tweet, but he made sure to broadcast it for all the world to see while doing nothing to throw cold water on it. Maybe he was just having a little fun, or maybe he’s sending the Blazers a message. He has, after all, mused about what it would be like to play with LeBron in the past.
