Now that he’s coming back to the Portland Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard can be honest about his time with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Lillard clearly wasn’t entirely happy with the Bucks, but he’s elated to be back home.
In a press conference with the Blazers, Lillard opened up about how he missed playing for a younger team with players he can guide with his years of experience.
When Lillard moved to the Bucks, the Blazers became populated with younger stars who were looking to prove themselves.
And while they have shown a lot of promise, the team has floundered in the years since Lillard’s departure.
Meanwhile, he was playing for an established team filled with older players.
And although he filled the role of a floor general, he didn’t have much wisdom to impart.
Now he is coming back to Portland and a team that needs as much wisdom as he is willing to give.
In fact, head coach Chauncey Billups suggested that Lillard will take on an assistant coach role with the team, doing more than simply putting up shots on the court.
He will also teach the up-and-coming stars.
Lillard is getting older and injuries are a legitimate concern, but his return to Portland is sure to be filled with great moments for both him and the young squad he will join.
