With the Blazers deciding to go with Scoot Henderson as their third draft pick, there are growing questions about Damian Lillard’s future with the Blazers. Currently passing through Paris, Damian Lillard is taking advantage of his French getaway to have a good time. But he is not immune to controversy.
In the middle of the evening, while Dame was filming herself on Instagram Live, the DJ added Will Smith’s famous “Miami” sound to her playlist. It was enough to reboost the rumors concerning a potential transfer from Lillard to the Heat, he who had already expressed his affinity for the Florida franchise two weeks ago.
It got big enough for his agent to issue a press release straight away. “Music is just a coincidence. Damian is not disrespectful. He is not a provocateur. He’s not going to do anything that doesn’t look like him. He has no reason to do this. That’s why he laughs in the video. It’s a funny coincidence that a DJ puts this sound on.”
Not one to come forward to this kind of practice to try to send messages, Damian Lillard probably did not premeditate anything. On the other hand, the scenario of a transfer request (to Miami or elsewhere) has perhaps never been so close to materializing.
With the selection of Scoot Henderson in the draft, the Blazers seem to be heading in a direction that goes against Lillard’s wishes. Even if the leaders of Portland assure that they want to continue with Dame and that the latter wishes to give time to his franchise of always to try to improve the workforce by the start of the Free Agency, we still have the impression that the two camps do not share the same vision. Insider Chris Haynes – quite close to Lillard – also adds that Dame and the Blazers have not communicated recently regarding the draft, the Free Agency, and the star’s future. Enough to feed a little more speculation…
According to league sources, Damian Lillard has not had any recent communication with the Portland Trail Blazers involving the draft, free agency, or his future. This further adds to the uncertainty surrounding Lillard’s future with the team.
As the rumors continue to swirl, fans and analysts will be eagerly awaiting any updates on Damian Lillard’s future with the Blazers. Will he stay loyal to the franchise or will he seek a new challenge elsewhere? Only time will tell.
How did fans and media react to the DJ’s choice of playing “Miami” during Damian Lillard’s Instagram Live session?
During Portland Trail Blazers’ recent decision to select Scoot Henderson as their third draft pick, speculations about Damian Lillard’s future with the team have arisen. Meanwhile, Damian Lillard is currently enjoying his time in Paris and making the most of his French getaway. However, controversy managed to find its way to the NBA superstar.
In the midst of an evening, while Dame was capturing herself on Instagram Live, the DJ accompanying the scene decided to include Will Smith’s iconic track, “Miami,” in her playlist.
As a die-hard Blazers fan, I hope Damian Lillard’s future remains with the team. Although the Miami transfer rumors are concerning, I believe in his loyalty and commitment to Portland. Let’s focus on supporting him and the Blazers, rather than fueling unnecessary speculation.
