Damian Lillard has been on the Portland Trailblazers for his entire career, and it appears he’ll once again be back in Portland come next season. The mid-summer Lillard trade is not happening. On a recent IG Live, Dame was asked about his current standing with the Blazers as people continue to place him in hypothetical trade scenarios.

Dame responded with: “I’m not leaving PDX. Not right now at least.”

Watch below:

Since Dame would really need to force his way out of Portland by requesting a trade, it sounds like he’ll see how the season unfolds before he decides his future.

It almost seems inevitable that Dame will be out of Portland.

Only a matter of time…
