Damian Lillard’s time with the Portland Trail Blazers appears to be nearing its end as he requested a trade instead of sticking with a franchise through another rebuilding season.

Lillard is generating interest from the Miami Heat and the Brooklyn Nets, according to The Associated Press. However, the San Antonio Spurs, who have a lot of draft capital to make a trade for the superstar guard, could also be seen as a potential landing spot for him.

The trade request did not exactly sit well with fans of the Trail Blazers star who helped lift the profile of the franchise and got the team as far as the Western Conference Finals in 2019. However, the team ended up trading away key players, including C.J. McCollum, and missed the playoffs in back-to-back years.

Lillard addressed at least one fan who brought up those who were turning on the guard even as the franchise was not able to build a complete team around him.

"It’s in my blood to take the high road," Lillard tweeted Sunday. "I’d love to hear what fans are turning on… have I mislead (sic) them? Or anyone? Fill me in."
