BREAKING: Nine-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard is finalizing a three-year, $42 million contract to return to the Portland Trail Blazers, sources tell ESPN. Deal is expected to include a player option in 2027-28 and a no-trade clause. A storybook reunion home for the 35-year-old.

Enjoy 16 minutes straight of @Dame_Lillard being Dame🖤

Feels like Shams is the one constantly writing Dame’s burn book. It’s getting old.

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]

Dame will not report to training camp if he’s traded to a team other than Miami, per @ShamsCharania

“At this point… the only two training camps that Damian Lillard would report to, in theory: Portland and Miami.” 😳

otter hoops like shaedon, for real

Just a friendly reminder that Duncan Robinson’s contract is literal dog shit (Herro’s is not much better) both still have several years on it. Heartbreaking day and only gets worse if this is the trade. All for getting Dame where he wants to go but this is a terrible deal.

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]

Miami is "prepared to offer a package" centered around Tyler Herro, possibly Duncan Robinson and picks for Dame, per B/R's @ChrisBHaynes

Heat prefer to keep Caleb Martin out of any trade.

Ok this is so tender <3

An open letter to the “put armed guards in schools” group: The armed guard that was in my middle school was arrested on child pornography charges. So I’m sorry if I think that’s a stupid solution to keeping kids safe.

Mr. Pickles, a critically endangered species of tortoise at the Houston Zoo, finally became a father at the age of 90. He and his partner, Mrs. Pickles, welcomed three tortoise hatchlings: Dill, Gherkin and Jalapeño.

We have reached the part of the simulation where Skip Bayless is pretending to have morals???

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

Skip Bayless has an issue with Ja Morant quoting NBA Youngboy last night

“If you go back and look at [NBA Youngboy’s] recent past, he’s been in jail several times for robbery and attempted murder and all kinds of assault charges, so he fits the part of the song, he’s actually playing the role of the song. It’s not the best look to quote that rap lyric just as you’re coming back from dangling a gun. In a vacuum, it’s the smallest deal. In context, it’s a reasonably big deal, to me.”

That ending got me tearing up tho

Love and congratulations from across the league for Trail Blazers all-time leading scorer, @Dame_Lillard ❤️

After being in this equal pay fight for over two decades, it was an honor to join the legends and leaders of our game and our country last night to sign our new CBAs - which achieve equal pay for @USMNT and @USWNT. An epic night befitting this historic accomplishment.
