So when Lillard was asked that question Friday night, about becoming the first Blazer to have a 40 and 10 at the Moda Center, his answer should catch your ear. “It’s always nice to be the first to do something,” Lillard said. “Especially being part of an organization that I plan to be a part of throughout my career. It’s an honor, but I was hoping he would win. ”
“Things are getting tough. It’s a tough league,” Lillard said. “You have your ups and downs. We flipped our list, man. We completely flipped and got a whole new team. And I signed up to be a part of it. To be part of the growth. I have to grow as much as our team has to grow, and I’m passionate about that, which is why it’s not hard for me to say that’s what I want. ”
“(Wanting to leave) is the easy thing to do. It is. It’s the easy thing to do,” Lillard said. I think about what it will be like when we get past this, and how it turns into what I want it to turn into. After that, that would be the ultimate satisfaction. ”
