IN THE MOMENT everything changed for Damian Lillard, nobody was picking up the phone.
By mid-September, Lillard believed the trade he had requested from the Portland Trail Blazers months earlier would not come to fruition. He was mentally preparing to start training camp with the Blazers for the 12th consecutive season. So as he sat in his home in Portland, in a room he calls his man cave, he did not expect to receive a call from his agent, Aaron Goodwin, informing him that the trade he'd requested was finally happening.
