Lillard, who releases music under the name Dame D.O.L.L.A., dropped a song shortly after the trade was announced.
"I'll continue leaving trails but it won't be for the Blazers," Lillard, who releases music under the name Dame D.O.L.L.A., raps toward the end of the track."To the fans I love you, it's unconditional. Reasons for me leaving this city is nothing typical, so it's imperative not to believe the narrative; just know that what I left is better than what I inherited."
Lillard, 33, was the sixth overall pick of the 2012 draft. He led the Trail Blazers to eight playoff berths, including a 2019 Western Conference finals appearance. He averaged a career-best 32.2 points and 7.3 assists last season, but only played 58 games because he sat out the last month of the season. The Trail Blazers ended the season by missing the playoffs for the second year in a row. It marked the first time in Lillard's tenure that the team missed the postseason in consecutive seasons."I leave at peace 'cause I know in the end that this is business. I hope you remember all the things you got to sit and witness.
