Damian Lillard Liking A Critical Tweet Of Portland Trail Owner Likely Won't Help Miami Heat
Portland Trailblazers guard Damian Lillard recently clarified him liking a critical tweet directed toward team owner Judy Allen.
He hopped on Instagram Live Saturday to clear the air about. He appeared in favor of a tweet saying Allen should sell the team to Nike founder Phil Knight in order to keep him in Portland.
Lillard said it was a mistake.
"Judy has been very solid to me in many ways that [has] nothing to do with the Trailblazers or basketball," Lillard said. "Don't run with that at all. She has been very solid to me and my family."
It made it seem Lillard was doing it to further his attempt to get traded to the Miami Heat, which he says is his preferred next team.
But Lillard says that wasn't the case.
”She’s been solid behind closed doors,” Lillard said. “Regardless, I would never disrespect Jody like that. It was really literally a mishap. I would never do no funny s— like that or try to be funny in no way like that. As far as Jody, she’s been very solid to me in many ways that has nothing to do with the Trail Blazers or basketball. So, don’t run with that at all.”
