Portland Trail Blazers fans have finally had enough time to process that beloved superstar -- and arguably the best Blazer of all time -- Damian Lillard is coming back home. Lillard officially signed a three-year, $42 million deal with the Blazers, which includes a no-trade clause and a player option for 2027-28.
Initial reactions covered the feel-good story about Lillard returning to a franchise where he spent most of his Hall of Fame-worthy career, while having a whole year to spend with his family in Portland as he recovers from injury. However, the actual basketball fit and roster addition are being overlooked.
