You can retire here as long as you want. Welcome home

After Lillard bought out, it is said that more than a dozen teams in the league have contacted him, but they are almost all basic salary and middle-class special cases. The Trail Blazers directly gave Lillard a three-year and 42 million contract with a wave of his hand. Not only does he have an annual salary of tens of millions, but he also has a three-year period. The contract also has a player option for the 2027-28 season and has a trade veto. I don’t know if Lillard is moved, but the fans all feel that the Trail Blazers are full of sincerity.

With this sincerity, Lillard decided without hesitation to return to the Trail Blazers and return to the place where the dream began, which is also where his family lives. He went to the Bucks, and his family was still in Portland, in order to return here to retire, but it was a few years ahead of schedule. This should be Lillard's best destination. I guess he has no determination to compete for the championship now. He will retire after leading the newcomers here for a few years! The meaning of

Trail Blazers is very obvious. You can retire here as long as you want. Welcome home.

Lillard is 35 years old this year. He is probably at the age of retirement in three years. He is likely to be the Trail Blazers. At that time, the team will definitely retire for him. If the results are good in the next three years, there may be another statue of him. I can only say that Lillard is really lucky. Even though he has no honor to show off, his career so far is perfect. He has a maximum salary all the way, and has been in the top 75, and has been in the top 100 stars... and including the salary bought out by the Bucks, his total salary will exceed 150 million in the next three years.

Many fans said that the Trail Blazers are paying for their feelings, because the team does not need Lillard at all now, let alone his estimated season reimbursement next season, and Lillard is not in the plan since the team's current target. The Trail Blazers are now very clear, that is, to train rookies. At least in the next three years, the team is not very competitive. Lillard's biggest role when he comes back is to lead rookies. But from the past, Lillard is obviously not a rookie, so the Trail Blazers are just paying for their feelings and want Lillard to live his life in the team.

From 2012 to 2023, Lillard has been playing for the Trail Blazers for 11 seasons, and has entered the All-Stars 7 times, the best team, and led the team to the playoffs 8 times. The best record was a Western Conference Final. The most impressive thing was the Rockets' goal. It was really a countdown and he also won the title of "cousin".

Lillard scored a total of 19,376 points in 11 seasons, with the first in team history, 2,387 three-pointers, the first in team history, 5,151 assists, and the second in team history.

This should also be one of the reasons why the Trail Blazers signed back to Lillard, and they wanted the Trail Blazers legend to continue the data here.

Lillard and Holiday are two unavoidable points in the Trail Blazers' trade. In 2023, Lillard wanted to compete for the championship in the Bucks, which was exchanged for the championship guards Holiday + Ayton + 1 first round + 2 first round swaps, and then sent Holiday to the Celtics. Holiday got a championship in the Celtics after a round and was sent back to the Trail Blazers by the Celtics today. Unexpectedly, he would reunite with Lillard at the Trail Blazers this year.

So after going back in a circle like this, Lillard = Lillard + Holiday + Avdigan + Rowe + Kamara + first round, etc. The Trail Blazers deal is quite cost-effective.

Now fans don't have to worry that no one will feed the ball in the future. Lillard and Holiday are both very good defenders. Neither of them are players who care about the data when scoring points, nor do they have to worry that Henderson can't pass the ball. If you practice pick-and-roll well with these two, the data will definitely rise.

After going around in circles, I returned to the original starting point, which may also be the end point, but this should be Lillard's best destination!
