Portland Trail Blazers: Making a case for Paul George

Retweets don’t equate to endorsements (but sometimes, they do)

Last Thursday morning, Lillard started his day on social media by going through his Twitter mentions and retweeting Portland native Alex Tam:

Now normally, I would err on the side of caution and advise everyone to not read too much into a single retweet. Cardinal rule: when you assume, you make an (ass) out of yo(u) and (me).
