Damian Lillard ‘bothered’ by link to story with Knicks intrigue
NY Post
Portland Blazers point guard Damian Lillard fell short of saying he wants to stay with the Blazers long-term, but said he was “bothered’’ by the assumption a controversial column written by writer and friend Chris Haynes was planted by him.
The Yahoo Sports author appeared to suggest Lillard may not want a long future with the Blazers because management hasn’t built enough around him to win a title. ”No one has ever questioned the fight in Lillard,’’ Haynes wrote. “But it is fair to ask if he’s been fighting the good fight alone…With each head-scratching loss and early postseason exit, his desire to fulfill that craving (of winning a title) is appearing more and more like a pipe dream.’’More Related News
