Damian Lillard has remained loyal to the Trail Blazers, but he has also acknowledged that he no interest in playing for a non-contender, and he knows Portland cannot win a championship as they are currently assembled.

“If you look at our team as it is, I don’t think you can say this is a championship team with a new coach,” Lillard said last Friday when asked if he was demanding a trade.

Damian Lillard has already accumulated a ton of money over his NBA career, and it would appear that he’s content on getting his way on to a real championship-caliber team.

Obviously, Lillard would like that team to be the Portland Trail Blazers. He has already given so much to that franchise, and the city of Portland. But if the team’s front office continues to fail at properly building around his talents, he might have to change his mentality.

For now, Damian Lillard isn’t going anywhere. But that could be changing very soon.
