Skip Bayless Attempts to Steal Credit for Damian Lillard’s Trade Demand, Claims 6ft 2″ Star is Destined for Disappointment

Damian Lillard made headlines tonight as he confirmed his interest in finding new pastures. The sharpshooter submitted a trade request to the Portland Trailblazers and is actively looking for a change. This has the sports world in a frenzy, with everyone giving their two cents about his decision. One person who has jumped on the train is Skip Bayless, who has now taken credit for Dame’s decision via Twitter. The UNDISPUTED host believes he is responsible for Lillard’s trade request and has even gone the extra mile, suggesting he isn’t capable of saving any team he will potentially be traded to.

Skip is known for being one of the more controversial analysts in the sports world. Reveling in his role, Bayless is known for his extreme takes. Whether it’s his relentless criticism of LeBron James or the pointless arguments he has with his co-hosts. So, keeping in line with his personality, his tweet on Dame can be described as nothing but insane.

Skip Bayless controversially takes credit as Damian Lillard submits trade request

Skip Bayless has earned quite a reputation for himself as one of the most controversial sports analysts. Known for his incredibly extreme takes, Skip has made headlines on several occasions for all the wrong reasons. And, recently he has done so yet again with a rather questionable tweet.

The UNDISPUTED host has weighed in on recent news regarding Damian Lillard. The Portland Trailblazers star has requested a trade, shocking the NBA community. But, while many suggest potential trade destinations, Bayless has taken credit for Dame’s trade request.

In a rather poor attempt to steal the spotlight, Skip claims he inspired Lillard. He believes the seven-time All-Star was inspired to demand a trade after watching the Skip Bayless Show. However, it doesn’t just end there. In addition to this, Skip went even further to suggest that any trade will likely fail, as he strongly doubts Lillard’s ability to be a “savior” for any team.

As things stand, Dame has a few destinations to choose from. Teams like the Clippers, Nets, 76ers, and Knicks are all interested in acquiring his services. But, with one destination in mind, Lillard and many fans will be hoping Skip’s doubts do not come true.

Dame has made it clear that his preferred trade destination is the Miami Heat

There are several teams in the market for Damian Lillard. However, the All-Star guard has made it clear that the Miami Heat are his preferred destination. And, from the looks of it, it could be the perfect deal. As things stand, the Heat’s star player, Jimmy Butler lacks a true partner-in-crime.

Dame’s scoring ability will certainly be a huge boon for Miami if the trade goes through. Additionally, with the departures of Max Strus and Gabe Vincent, Miami are desperate for some injection of talent. As for the Trailblazers, they will be looking to get some pieces to build around in return, and the Heat can offer plenty. Players like Tyler Herro, Nikola Jovic, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are sure to be on the table.

The following days are sure to bring a lot of excitement for all parties involved. Lillard fans, Heat fans, and Trailblazer fans will be keen to see just how things unravel.
