After the Portland Trail Blazers were bounced in the first round by the New Orleans Pelicans, there were some questions about whether or not the Trail Blazers would make some drastic changes this offseason, one of which is trading Damian Lillard.
That has led to fans tweeting at Lillard hoping he will get to their favorite team. One fan tweeted at Lillard saying come to Cleveland and join the Cavs, and he had the perfect response.

Lillard has made it clear that he wants to stay with Portland, but if the team decides to go in a different direction, there isn't much he can say or do about it. The problem the last few years hasn't been Lillard and CJ McCollum, it has been the players that have surrounded the two stars.
It seems the front office has given out bad contract after bad contract, and it has made life hard on the team. One of the best examples is Evan Turner who is entering the third year of a four year $70 million deal. In 79 games last year Turner only averaged 8.2 points per game, and that isn't enough for a guy making that type of money. Turner who has received a lot of unwanted grief for the contract wanted everyone to know during last season that he earned that money. Via NBC Sports.
“First off, let me say one thing: Everything I have done, I have earned. My contract – that’s my bread, and I earned my bread. So, kiss my ass. Dead serious. Write that. I earned that (expletive) money.’’
