Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is denying a report that he requested to meet with team owner Paul Allen to talk about some stuff.
The Oregonian‘s John Canzano was the first to report the meeting.
That was, well, until Damian Lillard took to the mean streets of Twitter to deny the report as if he was dunking over someone.
His word ain’t one to follow. Dude is a clown https://t.co/hLMuyHiC3l

Canzano, in his report, wrote that Lillard may have already requested a second meeting — although, it’s unclear what Lillard wants to discuss with the team’s owner.
“In fact, Lillard may have already requested a follow-up meeting with owner Paul Allen, the source indicated. Apparently, the source said, Lillard's agent Aaron Goodwin is whispering as much. If so, great. Because Goodwin might seize on the good news and utilize Thursday's All-NBA announcement to push that Allen-Lillard meeting into fruition.”
ESPN.com's Chris Haynes reported in January that the Blazers owner and guard had a meeting to get on the same page about the franchise's direction for the future.
“The two-time All-Star made it clear, though, that he has championship aspirations and wanted to fulfill those lofty goals during the remaining years of his prime window,” Haynes wrote.
This wouldn't be the first time a player denied an accurate report. At the same time, it wouldn't be the first time a reporter was duped, either.
