Writer Suggests "Marriage" Between Damian Lillard And Portland Trail Blazers Is Over

The Damian Lillard saga between the Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers has now lasted for nearly two months.

Trail Blazers beat writer Aaron Fentress said on a social media post that it's time for the Trail Blazers and Lillard to move on from another. There is no chance of Lillard playing again in Portland since he requested a trade in early July.

"This marriage is over," Fentress wrote. "Sign the divorce papers already so everyone can get on with their lives."

lol. Some of y’all are silly. Why are some Blazers fans angry with me?

I didn’t tell Lillard I would build around him then draft his replacement after he said he didn’t want to play with teenagers.

I didn’t tell him to ask out or to pick Miami?

I didn’t tell his agent to… https://t.co/Ppn0Nh3HUQ

Lillard even responded to one Trail Blazers fan on the post. The fan apparently was siding with Portland general manager Joe Cronin's handling of the situation.

Lillard's response was quick and to the point, with him simply saying "Just dumb." Most NBA fans are just ready for all of this to end with Lillard being traded to the Heat. Training camp is less than a month away.

Just dumb. https://t.co/U9RAMErPvV
