Because I think Lillard actually wanted to be there when he signed the extension. The dude genuinely seems to love the fanbase there. I just think he finally got tired of being in a dead end situation, and it didn't seem like it was getting better anytime soon.

We just expect players to suck it up and deal with it because they're being paid so much, but the Portland GM or coach could leave for another team anytime he wants if they offered him a job, or the team can get rid of the players if they feel like it. It's just the players who get stuck because of the contract.

I don't think that the coach/GM making several mil per year and the player making dozens of mil per year is comparable. When you make the kind of money that the players do, there are sacrifices and I think that is fair.
