Now in the offseason, players are having more time to relax and sit back at home. While they're at it, these players have also taken the opportunity to be more active on their social media accounts.
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard has been doing just that, answering questions thrown at him on Twitter.
He was recently asked who he prefers to play for his team, if he had a chance to choose anybody from the league’s current stars. Lillard was honest to reveal quickly that it is New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis, who he wants to see in a Blazers jersey for a long time.

Since the departure of LaMarcus Aldridge, Lillard has not been able to play alongside a power forward with an All-Star skill set. Although it’s just wishful thinking, The Brow’s inclusion to their lineup could drastically change their chances of competing for a title. They would have their own “Big 3” that is bolstered by all-around big man who can play at his natural position, given that they already have Jusuf Nurkic at the center spot.
Lillard’s response can be seen as his simple way of letting Davis know that he is welcome to join the Blazers in the future. It could also be a message that he sent to their front office to go after him, or try to add a power forward, who can bolster their roster, and improve their chances of contending for a title.
