The Portland Trail Blazers and starting point guard Damian Lillard will be together through at least the 2020-21 NBA season, if he's not traded, as the sides agreed to an estimated five-year, $120 million contract at the beginning of July. Lillard will sign another contract when this deal expires and he can see himself committing to Portland for his entire time in the NBA. From Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders:

"Kennedy: I know Blazers fans were thrilled when you signed that deal. If all goes as planned, can you see yourself finishing your career in Portland? Lillard: 'Definitely. I mean, I love it here. I love living here. I love the people here. This is just my kind of place. After growing up where I grew up, you just want to be in a nice, peaceful place. You want to be somewhere where people respect you and somewhere that you have built something. And I feel like I’ve built something great in my first three years here and I will continue to build on it. I consider this a second home. As long as they’ll have me, I’ll be here.'"
