Damian Lillard is one of the best players in the NBA and that goes without question. His impact as a scorer is undeniable and he’s used to will the Portland Trail Blazers into playoff contention year after year.

Sadly, though, the team has constantly failed to give him what he needs to succeed. He’s often worn out, tired, and banged up when the playoffs come and the rest of his supporting cast is lacking.

Now, a report by Jason Quick of The Athletic states that Lillard is getting antsy and would go as far as to force his way out of the team if they fail to make the moves they need to be a legit championship contender.

Damian Lillard Is Getting Antsy And Could Decide To Leave

“Terry Stotts is out as coach. There are rumblings that Damian Lillard is getting antsy. The calls for Neil Olshey to make a franchise-changing move are louder than ever. And the franchise’s commitment to CJ McCollum is once again being questioned,” the report started.

“Lillard’s 31st birthday approaches in July, and after another season in which Lillard went above and beyond to elevate the Blazers, only to be let down in the playoffs by lack of adjustments and lack of a supporting cast, there is a palpable sense of urgency coming from Lillard’s camp. Lillard wants to win big, and he wants to do it now, and following the Blazers’ first-round exit at the hands of a shorthanded Denver roster, it wasn’t hard to see Lillard’s frustration, Quick added.

Lillard has often said that he intends to finish his career with the Blazers and that he’d rather retire without a ring than ‘run away from the grind’ and change teams to pursue a championship. Then again, we’ve heard that story multiple times.
