‘LeRecruiter Is Awesome’ Twitter Reacts as Damian Lillard Reveals He Met LeBron James and Anthony Davis During Off Season

With the regular season in play, most teams have gone through major changes. However, some teams look quite the same. Notably, the Portland Trail Blazers. The off season was full of worry for Portland because of Damian Lillard. The star had openly admitted his displeasure with the organisation and was considering a move away. But in the end loyalty won and Lillard decided to stay back. However, he did evaluate his options with the group of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

During a WNBA game, a video of Lillard went viral. With LeBron in attendance for the game, they were seen sharing a hug and talking about something. This was in the heat of the time Lillard said the Trail Blazers were not a championship team. Hence, fans thought of this as a recruiting move by the ‘King’. And they may be true to some point.

Lillard spoke about how LeBron James spoke about living in LA. Furthermore, he questioned Lillard about his current position and what are his plans. When Dame admitted he wants to win, LeBron only broke down a scenario where Lillard would leave without saying that he wants him with the Lakers. However, in the offseason, the Lakers looked like frontrunners to sign Lillard, but Dame couldn’t see this through. He admitted that throughout the meeting he was a Trail Blazer.

Lillard told LeBron James that leaving Portland may not be the route he wants to take. While he does want to win, Lillard wants to stay true to Portland and win a championship there. His main problem was the organization’s mindset. He contemplated the move only because he felt the Trail Blazers were  not trying to win. If Lillard did decide to move to LA, how would the Lakers look now? Let us know in the comments below.
