Does he get the Bucks $$$ and the 14 million out of it? Or it offsets bucks $$$, but. Nothing extra for Dame?

Looks like Lillard probably knows he's not gonna bounce back. Might as well spend time with family the years he has left in the league.

My guess is he finishes it out in Portland but who knows

He’s retiring in Portland. They will probably be looking to trade Holliday.

I know someone who was more interested in Jrue than prime Lillard

At 30+ million per year until 2029, Jrue can be Portland’s problem…

While I do think Jrue would have a resurgence here I agree, we’ll see if the Heat do as well. They may be feeling froggy after getting Powell for peanuts

So wht is the breakdown to Liliard’s contract situation between his waive and stretch and now this?

I assume that gives milwaukee some discount, or?

So Dame chose the ashes of the Portland Trailblazers over playing with Bam? Wow.

Who would’ve thunk it? Does anyone want to play with Bam?

I'm just waiting for when we can finally see the benefits of all the stars in the league loving and supposedly wanting to play with Bam.

Bam is a fraudulent recruiter who is only used by the media/teams/players as a leverage play. When Dame requested Miami only specifically citing Bam as the key reason it was a hoax to get Milwaukee to up their offer and add a 1st. This proves it. Dame, Mitchell, KD, Kyrie, soon to be Luka, etc. ALL just leverage plays

We move. Still has to be Luka or Giannis. But who knows, likely it’s neither.

I do agree with this. Because for as much as we talk **** about our current team, we definitely have a better core than whatever the Blazers have going on right now.

But I guess that calls into question Dame's mentality, and what it was all along. He's not a winner.

In which case, maybe it's time to stop crying about the FO not closing that deal (if it was even possible to begin with, which by most counts it clearly wasn't)?

Get me Nikola Vucevic to be Ware’s backup.
