The Portland Path Blazers determined to take the No. 3 general choose within the 2023 NBA Draft on G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson, and relying on what you imagine, this would possibly imply that Damian Lillard goes to significantly weigh asking out. In fact, there’s no assure that is going to occur, and Lillard has even stated he expects to start next year in Portland.
Regardless, there’s a line of thought that Lillard has little interest in a youth motion and needs to compete, which has led to hypothesis that his time with the Blazers could also be working out. One group that’s reportedly making ready for that to occur is the Miami Warmth, that are continually star-hunting and view Lillard as a potential fit. That’s nothing greater than rumors at this level, however in a fairly unlucky twist for Lillard, an Instagram Dwell broadcast on Friday made headlines due to the tune enjoying within the background: “Miami” by Will Smith.
In response to Sam Amick of The Athletic, Lillard is at the moment in Paris and this tune got here on at a membership. Amick spoke to Lillard’s agent, Aaron Goodwin, who defined that this was fairly the unintended flip of destiny.
“The music was only a coincidence,” Goodwin stated. “Damian’s not disrespectful. He’s not an instigator, so he’s not going to do something out of character. There can be no cause for him to try this. That’s why he laughed (within the video). It’s a humorous coincidence {that a} DJ would put that on.”
There have been a complete lot of bizarre twists and turns with Lillard’s future this offseason, however I’ll confidently say that is, to date, the weirdest.
