Damian Lillard is returning to the Portland Trail Blazers after a brief stint with the Milwaukee Bucks. Waived by Milwaukee to create cap space, Lillard will sign a three-year, $45 million contract with a player option in the third year and a no-trade clause. He'll spend this season rehabbing a torn Achilles tendon before returning to the court. This move reunites Lillard with a young Portland team and allows him to remain close to his family. The trade that initially sent Lillard to Milwaukee ultimately proved unsuccessful for both parties.
