Lillard had the worst long term value contract in the NBA last year (at least Wall West were expiring soon) .... and just made it worse
Funny how your never hear about him and the Blazers getting swept in the first round as the better-seeded favorites vs the Pels. That was just 4 years ago. Lillard actually has a pretty spotty playoff record that gets glossed over by those highlight game-winners. In no way hell Lillard is winning a ring in the next 2 years staying with the Blazers. He brings up loyalty like a badge of honor but it's really just him getting the biggest bag possible. I'm not hating thought..get your bag..but I'm not going to take your serious as a competitor.
I wonder if they Lakers / Nets trade doesn’t get resolved or gain traction of Lakers steadfast refusing to give up draft compensation. Will Kyrie just demand a buy out? I bet the Lakers are betting on this.
Not quite the same but...does anyone remember when Hasheem Thabeet and Terrence Williams stopped at Cinnabon after being traded to Portland...which held up their physicals and thus our trade for Marcus Camby by a game or two?
