The internet never forgets and it didn’t take long for fans on social media to find this tweet after the Damian Lillard trade.
On Wednesday, the seven-time All-Star was moved to the Bucks in a three-team deal that included the Blazers and Suns, which landed him in Milwaukee.
Two years ago, Dame was asked by a user on Twitter if he would come to the Cream City once coach Mike Budenholzer was fired. To which Lillard replied flatly, “No.”
