Damian Lillard Could Be Shut Down For The Season

With the Trail Blazers 3.5 games out of the play-in tournament and only having 9 games left to play, the organization is leaning towards shutting down Dame Time for the remainder of the season.

Lillard has spoken recently about playing it smart when there is nothing to compete for anymore in a season, it doesn’t come as a shock that he brought that up when knowing that he is dealing with a calf injury.

He has only played in 58 of Portland’s 73 games but has a career-high average in points. With that being said, as impressive as that is, it looks like his team will be missing the playoffs for a second consecutive season.

This was per Shams Charania of The Athletic as an announcement of the Blazers shutting him down could be happening within the coming days, that is to be determined.

In a bombshell report by Chris Haynes, fans are blown away that the Portland Trail Blazers were officially done with Damian Lillard – their franchise player.

It appears Lillard wanted to rescind his trade demand but it was denied by general manager Joe Cronin. Cronin said there was no going back and ignored Lillard on multiple occasions, even when they met in person several times.

“Cronin’s response to the seven-time All-Star was that there was no coming back,” Haynes reported. “Lillard was shocked, sources said. He said it was discouraging to hear he couldn’t return, but added that he didn’t want to be somewhere he wasn’t wanted, and he ended the meeting.”

On September 11th, Lillard started showing up to the team facility for the preparation of training camp. He was there for 8 days, and despite being there for an entire week, Cronin did not talk to Lillard once. According to Lillard, the general manager gave a nonexistent reaction to seeing him since their conversation.

This was the moment Lillard knew it was time to go through with the trade demand, which is something Lillard would have taken back if Cronin wanted him back. However, Cronin stiff-armed Lillard and decided to end their relationship on a sour note.

Remember this Blazers’ fans, Damian Lillard was ready to come back after the Miami Heat trade talks stalled out. Now, Cronin’s own ego and poor judgment landed him with the Milwaukee Bucks and made their own conference even harder to compete in.

Lillard was respectful during the meeting, showed up after the meeting to get training, and was ready to return. This falls onto Joe Cronin completely.
