The 2 teams that were about to sign Lillard before signing with the Blazers

One of the summer soap operas in the NBA was resolved in the early hours of last Thursday to Friday. Damian Lillard decided to sign with the Portland Trail Blazers. Despite his serious Achilles injury, the Oregon team offered him an irresistible amount of money.

Perhaps, for that reason, Lillard finally chose to return to the Blazers. Because, as pointed out by NBA Rumors Shams Charania, the point guard was on the verge of signing for another team between Boston Celtics or Minnesota Timberwolves.

"More than a dozen teams made minimum and mid-level exception offers to Damian Lillard. I've been told he seriously considered two teams in particular, and those are the Celtics and the Timberwolves. He had phone conversations with both teams at different times," Charania said.

In the end, returning to what was his home for many years, and with such a lucrative offer, seemed unbeatable for Damian Lillard, who still has a whole season ahead without being able to play due to his injury.
