Damian Lillard penned a very lengthy goodbye message to the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night, just one day after he was officially traded to the MIlwaukee Bucks.
"I want to start off by saying this isn't a goodbye, it's a see you later," Lillard wrote."My words have always been from the heart when it comes to you Rip City. I consider you my home as well as many of my family members and that won't change. I've built my entire adulthood here and made so many friends that I will never forget. The moments on the basketball court as great as they have been don't even compare to the experience I've had with all of you.
Lillard officially requested his trade on the second day of free agency earlier this offseason, and he made it clear that the Miami Heat were the only team he wanted to play for. His representatives even tried to scare off other teams at one point, but a deal that sent Lillard to Miami never came together.
Though it will take more than just them, this team is undoubtedly Lillard’s best shot at a championship so far.“Let’s get this f***ing championship,” Antetokounmpo texted Lillard on Wednesday.
