Signings like these are the reason Portland will never win a championship.

Good for him. He's one of the best at his position. He deserves all the money he gets. I will never hate on any player for getting his money.
a fixed max gives team no choice. You either pay it or watch him leave for a team who will.yeah, I will never hate on a bruh getting his money, but 50 million for lillard

That’s not what I’m saying
Dame is a scoring PG who doesn’t play great defense, the Blazers clearly hit the ceiling for this team they made it to the WCF and got swept by a worst iteration of the 2015 Warriors
You can supermax him at 29 but you can’t supermax him then live with complacency with the rest of your roster, because the past couple years should’ve showed them they need more to contend then an elite scoring backcourt we’ve seen this story before

and God forbid they win a lottery, then it’s “who wants to live in Portland? Trade him to the Knicks!”As opposed to what? Starting over and tanking in hopes of maybe in 5 years, making the WCF like they did this season while missing one of their best players?
Portland isn't a free agent destination and their GM sucks.
Might as well ride their current success out and hope to get washed by the warriors again for the next few years while selling a ton of tickets
Only a handful of teams have won a title over the past 20 years, it's not the end all be all for the majority of the league.
Y’all gotta stop this shyt. Y’all get mad about players recruiting others to win rings but then shame players who aren’t ring chasing. Not every player is going to win a ring.
Shiiiiiiit oh well there’s more to life than sports and the media
Like obviously if you’re a professional athlete you wanna get those rings & accolades but at the end of the day, it’s all just a fukking game/entertainment. It doesn’t REALLY matter like that unless your a sports fan and again, in the grand scheme of things it’s all pretty trivial
Blazers could be treadmill team for the rest of the contract and dude could choke every single playoff game after...he still won at life to me
I’m sure CP3 was reeling after that loss to the Dubs but he’ll prolly be living his best life over the summer hosting golf tournaments and taking vacations with his family n shyt. At the end of the day, it’s just sports, but that WEALTH can last generations and provide real life impact

Like Dame said last night, teams in the league would kill to be in the position Portland was in right now
This is one of the worst thing about the NBA fan base.
This whole “if you don’t reach the finals then blow it up” logic is terrible for the league.

The reality is every team can't win a championship in the NBA, How many teams have a chip in the last 20 years?
let him walk and then your back to irrelevency for another 20 years.
He deserves every penny anyway.
Y’all are dumb if you think the Blazers shouldn’t give Dame the supermax.
If Nurkic was healthy and active the Blazers wouldn’t have gotten swept. Run it back one last time and if they underachieve then they gotta blow it up.

And exactly who can you win a title with as your best player against this GS squad?
