Wow. You really do pull a lot of Lillard cards. I wish I did, even though I feel like now his cards are a little overpriced. I remember in the thread I made about Lillard you said he was a good second tier star (I don't remember your exact words so please correct me if I am wrong) and compared him to the role that Westbrook plays for the Thunder, and I agree Lillard is a good, not great player.

But I think Westbrook has established himself to be on an entirely different level than Lillard, and I could see him being a first option on a championship team, with the right pieces around him. I don't think that can be said about Lillard. He's good and I love his game (almost a poor man's Steph Curry with the way he plays, sometimes to a fault) but I see him now more as a Kyle Lowry type player than a Westbrook, in terms of what his role should be. Anyway thanks for posting your break and good luck on future ones!

His prices have dropped in the last few months. But yeah, I pulled a /25 parallel of him in 13-14 Crusade, this jersey, and an insert of him in my latest box of Prizm. I get some decent card of him in about every modern box I break, lol.

Lillard and Lowry is a decent comparison, though Lillard seems more disciplined than Lowry. Dwane Casey has been great for Lowry. He's a bit of a strict disciplinarian, tutored under Carlisle, and I think that's helped motivate Lowry to get into better shape and live up to the potential he showed, but never capitalized on, earlier in his career.

I wonder how Lillard would do in a better system. Portland's not awful, but not great, either.

It certainly couldn't hurt, especially on defense. LaMarcus Aldridge was an okay defender in Portland, but seems to be a lot better in San Antonio's system, I wonder if Lillard's noted defensive struggles would improve in a different system.

I need your Wilt, check my bucket to work out a larger trade

[WilyWestbrook0]

Like the Rodman Crusade and the Ed Davis auto.

[mrwjcruckus]

Both are for trade but I trade autos usually for GU/auto, and the Rodman is S/. I'm interested in any retired players that retired before 1995. Let's see if we can work out anything bigger

[WilyWestbrook0]

I understand that; I wasn't proposing the Wilt for both of those two since you had mentioned a bigger trade. Do you not have access to my inventory link to see what else I have for trade?

[mrwjcruckus]

I do not, it's not in your signature

[mrwjcruckus]

And sorry about the larger trade thing... Been busy lately so the memory is not the best currently!
