Lillard signed a supermax contract extension earlier this month, essentially committing a huge chunk of the salary cap to paying him. His extension was worth roughly $200 million, which entails him making $54.3 million in 2024-25.

FOX Sports analyst Shannon Sharpe blasted the team for allocating that massive amount of money to Lillard, in this rant seen below.
