“It means a lot to me to get that type of commitment from the team, and I’m sure it means a lot to them for me to have that type of commitment to the Trail Blazers,” said Lillard, who signed a five-year max extension in Neil Olshey’s office Thursday morning. “There’s not an option on either end, which shows that this is a partnership that we want to last. I love being here, I love the City of Portland" I think I found my signature!
Dame is gold (not fools gold, as one poster once called him). Love that he says it's really Paul Allen's team, not his. #teamplayer
He says the right things. He does the right things. Rip city finally cashed their built up karma pay day with dames contract.
I love that he's happier for the contract to help his mother stop working than he is for himself...he's become my favorite basketball player, maybe favorite athlete in a long time. No opt out clause showed a lot of faith in his decision...didn't want to have a one foot in, one foot out contract.
