Will make a living! Lillard responded domineeringly to lay off employees: This is the first prize! Warriors and many other teams are competing for signing

"Cutting me? No, this is the first prize!" - NBA star Damian Lillard responded on his personal Twitter domineeringly on his personal Twitter, implying that he not only won the $113 million photo, but also could freely choose the next stop, which is a "winner in life." On July 2, the Bucks officially announced the use of extended clauses to lay off Lillard, the largest layoff in NBA history. Lillard's remaining two-year $112.58 million contract will be shared to pay in the next five seasons, about $22.51 million a year, and the Bucks are trying to make aside salary space to sign Pacers center Miles Turner.

Despite being laid off, Lillard's economic interests were not affected at all, and even became a blessing in disguise - he could join any team as a full free agent after returning from injury in 2026 without being restricted by the trading market.

According to NBA famous reporter Chris Haynes, after Lillard was sacked, many teams including the Warriors, Heat, Lakers, and Magic have contacted him, hoping to sign the 9-time All-Star with "suitable terms".

The Warriors hope that Lillard will partner with Curry to make up for the outside firepower gap after Clay left the team.

The Heat have always been interested in Lillard and tried to trade him as early as 2023.

Lakers and Magic are interested in his key ball ability and hope to improve their competitiveness in the playoffs.

Lillard's team is not in a hurry to make a decision, but instead evaluates the prospects and contract details of each team, and may return around the 2026 All-Stars as soon as possible.

Although he was reimbursed in advance due to a torn Achilles tendon in the 2024-25 season, Lillard still delivered top-level data averaged 24.9 points + 7.1 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.6% and a free throw of 92.1% (first in the league).

Medical experts analyzed that Lillard's explosive power may decline after his comeback, but his projection and organizational ability are still at the elite level, suitable for being the sixth man or key ball killer of the championship team.

was sacked, but Lillard took the initiative - taking money, recovering from injuries, and choosing a team freely. As he said: "If someone thinks it's gambling... then tell them that this is a jackpot."

is still the same: Lillard's garbage contract of 5,000, Lillard's 10 million is really good.
