    Hopefully this huge contract won't hurt his trade value.

    I'm sure Quick is writing an article about this very thing.

    Mike Conley would have gotten $130 mil.

    No Player option means "he's loyal to this franchise"

    You don't see that too often in sports anymore. I can't remember the last 4-5 year deal that's been with no player options.

    Dude's rolling in it, now. ALl guaranteed. Damn.

    How is that a dig? LMA signed the same type of deal during his rookie contract.

    When Lillard is here for 9 years he might feel the same way LMA does.

    I remember a quote by LA last year that has been stuck in my head the past few days and now it all makes sense. It was about being the best blazer of all time and breaking the records to which he responded "Even if I do I've got a guy next to me saying he's just gonna break them when I retire". Aldridge knows it's true, and it is.

    Dame is the freaking man, all hail.

    $125 +$100 shoe deal make $225 mil.
    Say he lives for 60 more years, or about 21915 days.
    That $10,267/day to spend every day for the rest of his life.

    Kyrie had no options.

    Glad to hear Damians doesn't have options either!

    C'mon, folks - a little reality check here. Lillard didn;t sign that extention out of loyalty or love, but the fact that the Blazers offered him a contract that has him set for life, and he will be - perhaps momentarily - the highest paid guard in the NBA. (Cue Curry's agent). Does Lillard like to be here? I'd imagine so, but remember that public relations is a huge part in marketing sports, so the Blazers are making every effort to swaddle this baby in terms of the aforementioned love & loyalty, especially since the Blazers are shipping off 95% of the fan favorites NOT named Lillard.
