But at the same, it’s like ‘are you just going to rot in Portland, bro? you are unbelievable.’”(via ) At 32 years old, Dame is on the back end of his prime. With only a limited number of years left at his peak, the window to lead Portland to a title is small and closing more rapidly. Securing a championship is something every player dreams of doing and could be the deciding factor in Lillard staying loyal to his franchise. Legacies are something brought up constantly when talking about star players, and rings are always the first thing mentioned. If Dame wants to go down as one of the best of his era, he will need to win on the biggest stage. Given the current outlook of the Blazers, his timeline doesn't match the rest of the group. Dame has done everything he could for the Blazers over the years and is on track to be the most loyal superstar of the player empowerment era.
