NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has weighed in on the ongoing saga surrounding Damian Lillard’s trade request from the Portland Trail Blazers to the Miami Heat.
The 33-year-old superstar made his trade request more than two months ago, but as of now, the two teams have yet to reach a mutually acceptable deal.
In response to a question about Lillard’s trade request, Silver expressed his disapproval of such situations. He further commented on the current trade discourse in the league, expressing his hope for resolutions that satisfy all parties involved.
“Don’t like them, as a league. I want players and teams to both honor their contracts. I’m watching everything going on in Portland and Philadelphia and hoping they get resolved to everyone’s satisfaction. I’m glad it seems to have calmed down as far as public discourse,” Silver said, per Sean Highkin.
