Perkins: Lillard previously applied for a transaction against nature. He left his body and never left his heart.

Lillard chose to return to the Trail Blazers after being bought out by the Bucks.

Speaking of whether he was surprised by this, Perkins said: "I was surprised, but I was also happy. Since Damian Lillard left, Portland was like a cloud of dark clouds and rain. Now the sun is out. It's not about the championship, but bringing this perhaps one of the greatest players in the history of the Trail Blazers back home. Yesterday they signed with Damian Lillard to fill that vacancy."

"For Lillard, returning to Portland also filled his vacancy--although physically He has left, but spiritually he has never left. His heart has always been in Portland. His family lives in Portland and his children are in Portland. The most important thing is that this is Lillard's true nature, right? Lillard is not the kind of person who jumps to pursue the championship. In my opinion, his previous deal requests have been contrary to my nature. We all know that he doesn't want to leave Portland. So I was surprised to see this news yesterday, but at the same time, I was very happy to see Lillard return. "
