Lillard has always been loyal to Portland and is among the franchise's leaders in many statistical categories. He trails only Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler in most points scored with 16,815.

Currently, with the Team USA that's preparing for Tokyo Olympics, Lillard spoke to the reporters during a media session last Thursday. The point guard did not address the ongoing rumors regarding his possible departure from Portland and told reporters he was prepared to do his job "like I always do".

Lillard (31, 1.88) finished last season as the league's third-highest scorer (28.8 PPG). The Portland Trail Blazers finished with a 42-30 record but lost to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
