Damian Lillard might be after one of his longtime Western Conference rivals on the recruiting trail.

Green’s Golden State Warriors were eliminated on Friday with a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in the play-in tournament. After the game, the Portland Trail Blazers star Lillard retweeted a post that read, “Keep tripping on Draymond, he’ll be in a Blazers jersey on y’all a–.”

The retweet is still clearly visible on Lillard’s Twitter page.

Green, the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year, cannot become a free agent until 2023, so the Blazers would have to trade for him if they want him any time in the near future.

As for Lillard, the retweet seems pretty on-brand. Earlier this year, we already heard reports that he was pushing for Portland to acquire Green.
