What the heck are Blazers going to get for Lillard's contract with the new NBA luxury tax / 2nd apron? Lillard still has a little less than $220mn left on his 4 year contract. He's currently 33. Small guards tend to drop off the cliff with age. Yes, it's averages to something like $53mn+ per year. LOL.
I guess Miami can trade Herro and an expiring ... but I don't think the Blazers get much more.
The Bulls have the Blazer first round pick in '25. It is lottery protected. The Bulls might be waiting 4-5 years before getting that pick.
The Blazers just signed 29 year old Jerami Grant for $160mn for 5 years. Why?
