Blazers GM Commits To Building A Winning Roster Around Damian Lillard
Although there has been no official word from Lillard that he wants out of Portland, the team has been consistent in ensuring the fans that the mercurial guard will remain with the Blazers.
Earlier, Lillard and the Blazers brass met to discuss the team’s direction, following which Blazers GM Joe Cronin stressed that the front office will do everything in their power to ensure Lillard will have a contending roster ahead of the next season.
“I met with Dame and Aaron Goodwin (Dame’s agent) this afternoon. We had a great dialogue. We remain committed to building a winner around Dame.”
Despite the Blazers’ woeful run, Lillard averaged 32.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists last season. The team failed to make the playoffs for the second season in a row, and while rumors will churn about his time in Portland, it looks like both parties intend to run it back. Only time will tell if the team manages to construct a roster that gives Lillard a chance to pull the team to a title run.
