Damian Lillard trade rumors have dominated NBA reports this offseason ever since the Portland Trail Blazers star demanded a trade out of Portland. Dame’s preferred destination has been touted to be the Miami Heat. However, in recent times, many NBA analysts have drawn links to one of the Blazers’ Western Conference rivals, the Minnesota Timberwolves. This leaves all parties involved with a $45,640,084 decision to make, considering that’s how much Lillard will earn this season under his existing contract. Meanwhile, amidst all the noise, Dame acknowledged his fellow point guard Stephen Curry today on Twitter, after the Golden State Warriors star gave him another shout-out while working out with his song.

NBA analyst Bill Simmons believes Dame could be headed to Minnesota. As things stand now, Miami is the only thing on Lillard’s mind. However, Simmons feels that the Trailblazers guard should strongly consider a move to the Timberwolves. After all, the idea of a big three consisting of Dame, Anthony Edwards, and Rudy Gobert sounds enticing. Especially considering the Heat have consistently failed to offer anything attractive to convince Portland to trade Lillard.

While he was working out, Steph seems to have given Dame D.O.L.L.A. a shout-out. After all, while he was doing the deadlift, Dame’s new song “The Way It Goes” could be heard playing in the background.

Dame is obviously grateful for Steph’s support and appreciation. The two have always had mutual respect for each other and are big fans of each other’s style of play. It will certainly be interesting to see how the 2023-2024 season pans out for Dame. But one thing is for certain, he will be looking forward to facing Steph on the hardwood floor.
