Draymond Green Roasts Damian Lillard For His Melo Statement

A possible Carmelo Anthony to the Houston Rockets trade has been in discussion for the better part of the last two weeks. But now, things could suddendly change. According to Adrian Wojnarowksi, another team is actively trying to land Carmelo Anthony; The Portland Trail Blazers.

McCollum and Lillard are actively trying to convince Melo to join the Blazers. Together with CJ McCollum, Damian Lillard and Jusuf Nurkic, Anthony would be the missing link to make the Blazers a possible contender, or at least yet another powerhouse of a Western Conference that seems to be getting tougher by the day.

But in an interview with the Oregonian, Lillard took things to a whole new level, claiming that Anthony joining Portland would make the Blazers compete at the level of Golden State. He said:

“I can only imagine what it would be like having him iso’ing on one side, and C.J. in a corner, and me on the opposite wing and Nurk. I can only imagine how hard it would be to guard us when it’s already hard to guard us. We can compete with anybody in the West, but I think when you get to those teams like Golden State, if we happen to run into them in a playoff situation now—we getting in the paint, and if they want to help off someone like Melo…good luck.”

Draymond Green, who swept the Portland Trailbalzers in the first round of these past playoffs with ease, wasn’t having it. He roasted Damian Lillard on Instagram, writing:
