Lillard flying to LA to convince LA to resign here

[Draco]

There's yet another wrinkle, too, the agent for Portland Trailblazers point guard Damian Lillard, Aaron Goodwin, told USA TODAY Sports that his client is planning an impromptu visit to Los Angeles to try and convince his former teammate to stay. Lillard, who finalized a five-year extension worth between $125 and $129 million on Thursday, just returned from a promotional trip in Paris. The relationship between those two players has been a focal point of Aldridge's possible departure from Portland.

Dame Time.

Like a true leader!

He's either going to talk LA into coming back or thank LA for allowing him to be the best blazer ever now!

It's funny; this doesn't feel like a #2 trying to convince a #1 to stay, or even equals talking. It feels like Dad's putting his foot down and explaining calmly what's about to happen.

Or, as I'm fond of saying in game threads:

"Damian Lillard is tired of this bullshit."

 

[Scalma]

Just had a long probably draining trip to china and Paris and now gets on a plane again to convince a guy who's flirted with pretty much every team in the league to stay, because despite all that he knows we are better with LA than without. That's a leader.

Why am I in tears?! This reminds me of the game 4 Roy 4th quarter

 

[riverman]

This is what leadership is about!

 

[magnifier661]

It's about Dame Time!!!!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

So he's our David Robinson?

But I've moved on!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Should have done this earlier!

 

[TBpup]

LillardTime is about to land in/on LA. Will it be enough?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Should have done this earlier!

Dad was working overtime overseas, earning his paycheck. But he's home now, and done with the paperwork. Time to pick up junior from daycamp.

 

[Further]

I've given up on LMA returning till this. However, Lillard is always a game changer!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Should have done this earlier but Dame had to take care of his contract first.

LA - I know I got the love and credit for that shot against the Rox, but that was all you, brother. If they weren't thinking about you because you're so awesome, I don't get that opportunity. I may get the love, but deep down, we all know it's really you that makes this team run. Grab your stuff, put your game face on, and come back to where you belong.

 

[riverman]

It's been a whole day and a half..in the meantime we are gutting teams left and right who think they have a shot and will end up with 35 year old West as the PF left to fill the gap..and that's just one team

 

[BlazerWookee]

I'm telling you, it's all coordinated, and it's been that way since the beginning. Mark my words.

That, and you know, he was in China and Paris.

 

[lawai'a]

damian lillard is cementing his status as one of portlands greatest and beloved players in only his 3rd year.

Sounds like a soap opera episode. Introducing Neil Olshey.

 

[riverman]

The Lakers can probably get McBob or Tayshawn Prince if they're lucky

 

[illmatic99]

Plus he himself was in contract negotiations

 

[BlazerWookee]

There was no negotiation. All they did was click "maximum extension amount" and then "print."

 

[Harry's Raincoat]

Damian only needs 0.9 seconds with LaMarcus!!

 

[magnifier661]

If Dame gets Aldridge to commit, I guarantee Matthews will come immediately after

 

[BlazerCaravan]

There was no negotiation. All they did was click "maximum extension amount" and then "print."

They let Dame fill in all the O's with his pen first, for fun.

I heard the L*kers are trying to pair this cat with LA

 

[ThugginPaulyGAllen]

"Lamarcus, two years ago we won the first playoffs series since you've been here; injuries fucked us, so we went out, got more depth, length, and athletic - we swapped out Batum and Wes, for Plumlee, Hendo, Vonleh, Ed Davis and Aminu. We have a bench now. C'mon homie. Lets go." *Calls up Lopez on conference call - Lopez - lets go."

 

[Draco]

Could we resign LMA and Rolo??? Gosh what a rollercoaster these days have been.

 

[Wahdeezy]

LMA told Dame congrats on your 120 mill. Dame's like what team did you pick?LMA said my hearts in Texas lil bro. Ay but fly your ass over here because we both got paid! Party at my crib!!!

Rolo only if it's a Lamarcus condition. We need another 3pt shooter more now or a backup pg
