If loyalty is important to Damian Lillard, the point guard might make a surprising decision in the near future. It must be said that he suffered a violent lack of respect in Portland recently, and his contract extension has not yet been signed. The next moves made by the organization are going to be important.
In Portland since the beginning of his career, Damian Lillard still hope to stay there forever. The ideal would be to win a title there, and we have to believe that the front office has received the message. It is not yet known if the duo will work, but the directors have brought in Jerami Grant, while extending the contract of young Anfernee Simons. Some interesting moves in Oregon, but a lot of unknowns, especially with the departure of CJ McCollum last season.
Damian Lillard on the start? The rumor that hurts
Before all these moves, Lillard was logically worried regarding the direction taken by the team. What does the front office want to do during the summer? So Dame Dolla turned to owner Jody Allen for a chat and to find out more according to the NY Post. Problem ? She never replied to her star, and even sent another member of the organization to try to find out more.
« Damian [Lillard] wanted to sit down & have a conversation with Jody [Allen] regarding the team and she didn’t return his call. Then he tried to email her. Eventually she just never responded and put him in touch with Bert [Kolde, Blazers’ Vice Chair]. »

If this version is confirmed, needless to say that Lillard must not have appreciated. Responding is the least you can do, especially when your star is worried regarding the future of the organization. It is recalled that Dame has not signed his contract extension, for the moment, while he is eligible. It does not take more to ignite the fans regarding a possible departure.
Just sell the team. Dame doesn’t deserve this

Wow! Time to pack your bags @Dame_Lillard . A franchise that doesn’t make time for their star player doesn’t deserve them in the first place.

This rumor still needs confirmation, but Damian Lillard must be bitter if it is. This would explain why his contract extension is not signed, and might lead to a potential departure in the near future. Be careful not to play with fire in Oregon.
