NBA Free Agency and Rumours roundup: 5th July - Kawhi Leonard, Lillard to Lakers?

#3 Damian Lillard drops cryptic tweet about moving to the Lakers

2018 NBA All-Star Game

Well, well, well! Damian Lillard is one of the best point guards in the league, as he proved through the 2017-18 regular season when he led the Trail Blazers to the 3rd seed ahead of several worthy challengers and landed a First-Team All-NBA spot for his performances. This offseason, however, the Blazers' front office hasn't exactly done a satisfactory job in his view.

His reaction to Ed Davis signing with the Brooklyn Nets says it all.

Davis was an important member of the Blazers' rotation last season, and had earned Lillard's respect. The duo had a nice pick-and-roll combo going, and Dame Dolla is clearly dismayed by the manner in which the front office let him walk.

Thus, came his tongue-in-cheek response to a tweet 2 days back.

Can the Lakers put a reasonable trade package together for Lillard? Will they? It looks unlikely right now, but we've seen stranger things happen in the league.
