The only source in the entire article is “a person familiar with Lillard’s thinking.”

“He just wouldn’t go,” a person familiar with Lillard’s thinking told Sportsnaut. “He just wouldn’t report.”

No actual quotes from Dame. Could just be his boy CJ stirring up some shit

Edit:

The Blazers are cognizant that the Brooklyn Nets declined to accommodate Kevin Durant’s trade request last summer until dealing him and T.J. Warren to the Phoenix Suns for Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder, four unprotected first-round picks (2023, 2025, 2027, 2029) and a 2208 pick swap.

Yo I didn’t realize the Nets were collecting picks that far out. 2208 gonna be a wild draft
