Maybe he was counting on it.
Of course, his main goal was to get to the championship. But in his attempt to reach that goal, he was making himself eligible for all-NBA as a side-effect and whatever other bonuses are in his contract. I'm pretty sure there's a "O-ring blowout type" bonus for winning the Eastern conference or Championship that he won't be getting.

I'm sure he was hoping to not get extra income with that paternity suit pending![]()
When lillard contract up. Is he legible for this bonus cuz if so, then he got next.
