BREAKING: Nine-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard is finalizing a three-year, $42 million contract to return to the Portland Trail Blazers, sources tell ESPN. Deal is expected to include a player option in 2027-28 and a no-trade clause. A storybook reunion home for the 35-year-old.
Remove the sentimentality and this seems like a deal that will haunt Portland. A 35 year old coming off an achilles injury getting a 3 year deal with a PO AND a no trade clause seems like a high chance to be dead money before that contract is done.
