Damian Lillard's undying loyalty to the Portland Trail Blazers was rewarded wi
th a second consecutive season with no playoffs.
Lillard對波特蘭拓荒者的忠誠得到回報 — 連續第二個賽季沒有打入季後賽。
With a high lottery pick and young players this season, Damian Lillard told St
ephen A. Smith that he and the team need to pick a direction for the future, o
pening up the possibility of him being traded away.
擁有高順位選秀權和年輕球員的本賽季，Lillard告訴SAS，他和球隊需要為未來選擇一個
方向，這為他可能被交易鋪平了道路。
"It ain't a threat. I am not gonna say that I am putting them on a clock, I'm
just saying if we can't do something significant like that, we won't have a ch
ance to compete on that level. Not only will I have a decision to make but the
organization will too. Are we gonna go young or are we gonna get something do
ne? We've not been fully committing to either one. Everybody wants to win. The
y believe I deserve that opportunity and I am trusting that we're committed an
d diligent about doing those things this offseason... This is our most importa
nt offseason since I've been here."
「這不是威脅。我不會說我在給他們倒計時，我只是說如果我們不能做出這樣重大的事情
，我們就沒有機會在這個層次上競爭。不僅是我要做出決定，球團也要做出決定。我們要
走年輕路線還是要完成某件事？我們還沒有完全致力於任何一個。每個人都想贏。他們認
為我應該得到這個機會，我相信我們在這個休賽期對此充滿信心和努力。這是我來這裡以
來最重要的一個休賽期。」
Lillard had doubled down on wanting to win for the Blazers during the season,
comparing himself to what Reggie Miller did for the Indiana Pacers. Off late t
hough, Dame has sounded more willing to explore his options given the stagnanc
y in Portland's success.
賽季期間，Lillard一直在強調自己想要為拓荒者取得勝利，並將自己與印第安納溜馬隊R
eggie Miller相提並論。然而，最近Lillard顯得更願意探索他的選擇，因為波特蘭的成
功陷入了停滯。
Will Damian Lillard Stay For Victor Wembanyama?
Lillard願意為Wembanyama留下來嗎？
The Blazers currently have the 5th best odds at the No. 1 pick, meaning Victor
Wembanyama could potentially be a Blazer and team up alongside Damian Lillard
as a rookie. Even though drafting Wemby means Portland staying young, they'll
possibly pair a generational center with Dame for a fierce duo.
拓荒者目前擁有第一順輪選秀權第五好的機率，這意味著Wembanyama可能成為拓荒者並與
Lillard組成新秀搭檔。儘管選擇Wembanyama意味著球隊依然年輕，但他們可能會與達米
恩組成一對厲害的搭檔。
Portland is the best-positioned team to give Wembanyama the possibility to com
pete for the playoffs as a rookie. If he's as good as everyone claims he is, L
illard will want to stay and deliver a championship alongside the French cente
r. Lillard averaged 32.2 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds this season and
was the third-leading scorer in the NBA this season, so he still has a lot le
ft in terms of production to lead Portland back to winning seasons.
波特蘭是最有可能讓Wembanyama在新秀賽季就進入季後賽的球隊。如果他真的像大家說的
那麼好，Lillard肯定會想留下來，並希望與這位法國中鋒一起贏得冠軍。本賽季，Lilla
rd場均得到32.2分，7.3次助攻和4.8個籃板，他是本賽季NBA得分第三高的球員，所以他
在帶領波特蘭重返勝利之路上仍然具有很好的能力。
開綠燈了？
