The Portland Trail Blazers just signed Damian Lillard, and it makes the original trade with the Milwaukee Bucks look even more genius.
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Portland Trail Blazers just signed Damian Lillard to a three-year, $42 million contract that includes a player option for the 2027-28 season and a no-trade clause. Lillard will return to the franchise with which he built his legendary NBA career, and the Blazers get him back for a fraction of the price they were previously slated to pay him.
