Lillard comes off a season full of speculations on his future
Speaking to reporters on the eve of the season opener, Blazers star Damian Lillard repeated a concept: “I’ll answer that the same way I answered it on media day: I’m not leaving Portland. It’s an easy thing and a popular thing to say, but it’s not going to happen. Adversity is going to hit, there are going to be tough times. So whether it starts off rocky or if it starts out as a struggle I won’t be happy about it, nobody would. But I’m not going to jump ship and bail out when that happens”.
