Ever since the Portland Trail Blazers lost in the first round to the Denver Nuggets, rumors have swirled regarding the future of Damian Lillard. With his time running out and the Blazers' window closing, there has been a lot of trade talk regarding the Blazers star– and for good reason. On Wednesday, Lillard reacted to a Utah Jazz fan who had photoshopped Dame in a Jazz jersey, hinting at a potential backcourt mate alongside Donovan Mitchell.

Lillard does not seem too thrilled about the photoshop, or perhaps he doesn't seem too thrilled with going to the Jazz. Either way, he has remained persistent in his desire to stay in Portland, and the Blazers' search for a new head coach primarily will center around Dame.
They have a ton of questions to answer in the offseason and they need to find a way to get Lillard more help in an effort to make a run in the talented Western Conference before he requests a trade and gets sick of his time in the Pacific Northwest.
This summer will be really interesting, and who knows what happens with Dame, but it appears he isn't too interested in joining Utah after all.
