Damian Lillard 'Done' as a Raiders Fan If Davante Adams Traded for 2nd amid Rumors

Trade rumors have been swirling around Davante Adams this week, and if the Las Vegas Raiders indeed end up moving him—ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Tuesday the Raiders have informed other teams they will "consider" trading him and want a second-round pick and "additional compensation" in return—at least one very prominent fan of the team is out.

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Damian Lillard posted on social media that he is not happy with the rumors surrounding Adams and his fandom is one the line:

Lillard, who is from Oakland—the home of the Raiders between the 1960-81 and 1995-19 seasons—has always been both a vocal supporter, and critic, of his favorite NFL team.

He has the ink to prove it:

That support survived the team's relocation to Las Vegas in 2020, though Lillard called that decision a "loss for the city" while speaking with Sam Gordon of the Las Vegas Review-Journal in Nov. 2020.

"That just looks kind of weird," he added of seeing the team in Vegas. "It was like a reminder that they're really in Vegas. They're not playing in Oakland ever again. That was the only time where I was just like, 'Damn, they're really gone.'"

And Lillard has also understood in the past if players like Adams might want to depart during periods of struggle for the Raiders. Here's what he had to say following a 27-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Nov. 2022:

This time around, however, Lillard doesn't seem to have the stomach for losing Adams at such a modest price point. Sometimes, fans just hit a breaking point, and Raiders fans like Lillard have been forced to endure a lot of disappointment in recent years.
