Damian Lillard had a telling remark on the Blazers potentially leaving Portland

Damian Lillard doesn’t want to see the day when the Trail Blazers are no longer in Portland. 

While there is no imminent possibility of a Trail Blazers relocation, the NBA franchise and the City of Portland have yet to see eye to eye on where the funding should come from for the renovation of the Moda Center in Portland, Ore.

According to Jason Quick of The Athletic, the Blazers and the City of Portland must agree by December to receive $365 million in state bonds. Otherwise, the Trail Blazers’ chances of staying in Portland would get blurrier.

Lillard can’t seem to grasp the idea of the Blazers being in a different location.

“As much as I’m a Trail Blazer, I’m a Portland person. … I just don’t see that happening, the veteran point guard said during Monday’s Media Day.

“And hopefully that’s what it ends up being. I just don’t see a world where the Trail Blazers aren’t in Portland. I just don’t.”
