Of course, if there is a chance of ownership then there will be some kind of adjustment. As the new owners will have to insert his own people into the Blazers and manage it the way he can. I remember when Balmer bought the Clippers for $2 billion back then. Then he try to overhaul the system, get the best players that he can get his hands and with his money.
So that's what I'm expecting from the Portland team in the next coming years. And obviously they will have to find a way to be competitive. Although Dame is back with them, I don't think that he is the same Lillard we all knew as he has multiple injuries and his body is tearing apart already.
They have a different Dame now but they can still build the team around him but, with this new management, we don't know what they're planning.
It's worth noting that Lillard had decent statistics last season, considering that he averaged 24.9 points per game. However, he is already 35 years old, and building a team around him may not be the best idea for the Blazers.
So, it's unlikely that the Blazers will achieve any outstanding results in the upcoming season.
Right, and as said before, he has a lot of of wear and tear in his body already and at 35 years old, he could be showing signs of slowing down. Although there is one good example in Durant or Steph Curry we still can score and control the game.
And unless they surround him of young players, it might be very hard for Lillard to carry the team as he used to be. But I remember one game of him, I did bet on ML with $100 on them to win and it was a crazy game. They won a game via a buzzer beater, so I will have to take him for that.
