Damian Lillard's undying loyalty to the Portland Trail Blazers was rewarded wi
th a second consecutive season with no playoffs.
Lillard对波特兰拓荒者的忠诚得到回报 — 连续第二个赛季没有打入季后赛。
With a high lottery pick and young players this season, Damian Lillard told St
ephen A. Smith that he and the team need to pick a direction for the future, o
pening up the possibility of him being traded away.
拥有高顺位选秀权和年轻球员的本赛季，Lillard告诉SAS，他和球队需要为未来选择一个
方向，这为他可能被交易铺平了道路。
"It ain't a threat. I am not gonna say that I am putting them on a clock, I'm
just saying if we can't do something significant like that, we won't have a ch
ance to compete on that level. Not only will I have a decision to make but the
organization will too. Are we gonna go young or are we gonna get something do
ne? We've not been fully committing to either one. Everybody wants to win. The
y believe I deserve that opportunity and I am trusting that we're committed an
d diligent about doing those things this offseason... This is our most importa
nt offseason since I've been here."
“这不是威胁。我不会说我在给他们倒计时，我只是说如果我们不能做出这样重大的事情
，我们就没有机会在这个层次上竞争。不仅是我要做出决定，球团也要做出决定。我们要
走年轻路线还是要完成某件事？我们还没有完全致力于任何一个。每个人都想赢。他们认
为我应该得到这个机会，我相信我们在这个休赛期对此充满信心和努力。这是我来这里以
来最重要的一个休赛期。”
Lillard had doubled down on wanting to win for the Blazers during the season,
comparing himself to what Reggie Miller did for the Indiana Pacers. Off late t
hough, Dame has sounded more willing to explore his options given the stagnanc
y in Portland's success.
赛季期间，Lillard一直在强调自己想要为拓荒者取得胜利，并将自己与印第安纳溜马队R
eggie Miller相提并论。然而，最近Lillard显得更愿意探索他的选择，因为波特兰的成
功陷入了停滞。
Will Damian Lillard Stay For Victor Wembanyama?
Lillard愿意为Wembanyama留下来吗？
The Blazers currently have the 5th best odds at the No. 1 pick, meaning Victor
Wembanyama could potentially be a Blazer and team up alongside Damian Lillard
as a rookie. Even though drafting Wemby means Portland staying young, they'll
possibly pair a generational center with Dame for a fierce duo.
拓荒者目前拥有第一顺轮选秀权第五好的机率，这意味着Wembanyama可能成为拓荒者并与
Lillard组成新秀搭档。尽管选择Wembanyama意味着球队依然年轻，但他们可能会与达米
恩组成一对厉害的搭档。
Portland is the best-positioned team to give Wembanyama the possibility to com
pete for the playoffs as a rookie. If he's as good as everyone claims he is, L
illard will want to stay and deliver a championship alongside the French cente
r. Lillard averaged 32.2 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds this season and
was the third-leading scorer in the NBA this season, so he still has a lot le
ft in terms of production to lead Portland back to winning seasons.
波特兰是最有可能让Wembanyama在新秀赛季就进入季后赛的球队。如果他真的像大家说的
那么好，Lillard肯定会想留下来，并希望与这位法国中锋一起赢得冠军。本赛季，Lilla
rd场均得到32.2分，7.3次助攻和4.8个篮板，他是本赛季NBA得分第三高的球员，所以他
在带领波特兰重返胜利之路上仍然具有很好的能力。
开绿灯了？
