Damian Lillard: Contract| Trade| Contract Lakers| Wife
Contract:
The two guards, separated by one year, who both played at small schools yet managed to become NBA lottery picks for the same team rose to prominence as the starting backcourt for the Portland Trail Blazers for the better part of the last seven seasons.
Often a polarizing topic of conversation both locally and nationally, the two won a lot of games and developed a unique partnership both on and off the court, even if they never managed to reach the ultimate goal of winning a championship.
Trade:
With that on-court partnership now over with McCollum, along with Larry Nance Jr. and Tony Snell, being traded to New Orleans for a package of players and draft picks.
Lillard reflected on their time together, their friendship off the court, their highs and lows on the court, knowing their time together was coming to an end, some of his favorite memories and what he’s thought of the recent reshaping of the roster…
Contract Lakers:
The Portland Trail Blazers are apparently not giving up on building around Damian Lillard.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the Blazers are planning to pursue “high-end talent” to retool their roster around the All-Star point guard.
Portland has as much as $60 million in potential cap room this summer and created a $21 million trade exception as part of a deal sending CJ McCollum, Larry Nance and Tony Snell to the New Orleans Pelicans.
Wife:
Yes, after 11 years of a lengthy relationship, the beautiful couple tied the knot in the first week of September 2021.
