Blazers news: Damian Lillard expected to sign 4-year, $191 million supermax deal this summer

The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to sign star guard Damian Lillard to a four-year, $191 million supermax deal this summer, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.

Lillard has not officially qualified for the supermax yet, but he will if and when he gets named to one of the three All-NBA Teams, which is basically a surefire lock based on the season he just had.

The 28-year-old has two years and around $62 million remaining on his current deal.

Haynes adds that Lillard's contract would likely include a player option.

Lillard led the Blazers to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in his career this season, and while Portland ended up getting swept by the Golden State Warriors, it was still a heck of an accomplishment for a team that many thought would lose in the first round to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Lillard didn't want to talk about his contract after the sweep, but it will be well-deserved. On the season overall, he averaged 25.8 points, 6.9 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 35.5 minutes per game while shooting 44.4 percent from the floor, 36.9 percent from 3-point range and 91.2 percent from the free-throw line en route to his fourth All-Star appearance.

The Oakland native, who played his collegiate basketball at Weber State, was originally selected by the Blazers with the sixth overall pick of the 2012 NBA Draft.

It didn't take long for Lillard to stamp his name among the best point guards in the league, as he won Rookie of the Year and then made the All-Star team in his second season.

Damian Lillard owns career averages of 23.5 points, 6.3 assists and 4.2 board a night.
