NBA cracking down on superstar trade demands with Lillard memo

The NBA is trying to crack down on superstar trade demands with a recent memo to the league about Damian Lillard.

Lillard, like many superstars before him, has demanded a trade after signing a super max contract extension with the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Blazers have gone with more youth around Lillard, which didn’t please a 33-year-old player who wants to win now.

Lillard’s demand is even more complicated for the Trail Blazers, as the superstar made it clear that he only wants to play for the Miami Heat.
