The Los Angeles Lakers have begun revamping their roster ever since LeBron James made the decision to jump over from Cleveland to LA this past weekend. After James agreed to a four-year deal, displaying his trust in Magic Johnson, Rob Pelinka, and the Lakers organization, they began shifting their attention to role players, adding Lance Stephenson, JaVale McGee, Rajon Rondo, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to one-year deals.
With LeBron James, and especially the Lakers, however, there's always that buzz about how they can acquire another star. Fortunately for them, there a lot of potential stars they could seriously look into trade, but it would come at the cost of one or a few of their young players.
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard is one of the names that came up in recent reports as players the Lakers are interested in. As many know, Lillard has continuously shot down trade rumors and reports over the last several years on Twitter, telling fans that he's happy in Portland with no plans to move. With the recent Lakers report, Lillard once again took to Twitter to let fans know how he really feels about teams being interested in him, saying that he's “typically a happy camper.”

Until Lillard and his Blazers squad make some noise in the playoffs, it'll be hard to get the pressure and potential rumors off his back. With the way the Western Conference is shaping up right now, that's going to prove very hard to do.
Lillard averaged 26..9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.1 steals per game on 44 percent shooting from the fiel and 36 percent from beyond the arc.
