Damian Lillard to serve in general manager role at alma mater Weber State
Lillard, 35, announced the move while hosting the Weber State Basketball Alumni Classic in Ogden, Utah. The 13-year NBA veteran adds his new role just two weeks after agreeing to return to the Trail Blazers on a three-year deal.

'Success doesn't come overnight, especially in today's ever-changing basketball landscape,' Lillard said via a Weber State press release. 'College athletics is constantly evolving, and building a strong program requires time, trust, and commitment. I believe in what this program represents and the culture that continues to grow at Weber State. The support of our community is vital to the program's success, and I am committed to playing a greater role in that effort. This opportunity allows me to be even more involved in shaping the future of Weber State basketball.'
A legacy continues in Ogden. Wildcat legend Damian Lillard is officially joining Weber State Men's Basketball as the new General Manager.

Serving as a 'key advisor' and 'mentor' to the team, Lillard will work closely with the coaching staff and the athletic department's leadership, according to the news release, to provide 'insight, mentorship, and guidance, using his experience at the collegiate and professional levels to elevate the program.'
Lillard's move to become general manager follows in the footsteps of other NBA players who have stepped into similar roles. Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry agreed in March to serve as assistant GM at his alma mater, Davidson, while Hawks guard Trae Young will serve in that same role at Oklahoma. Four-time NBA champion Shaquille O'Neal agreed in April to become the general manager at Sacramento State.
Prior to Lillard being drafted sixth by the Trail Blazers in the 2012 NBA Draft and later being named the 2013 NBA Rookie of the Year, Lillard starred at Weber State. He led the Wildcats to two Big Sky Championships, earning two Big Sky MVP nods, during his four seasons from 2009 to 2012. He had his jersey retired in 2017, was inducted into the school's Athletics Hall of Fame in 2021, and the Big Sky Conference Hall of Fame in 2022.

Q3 2025 Investor Conference & Events Highlights
Tariffs and taxes dominated the macro narrative to kick off the second half. President Trump's July 9 initial reciprocal tariff deadline came and went, with little stock market volatility and a ho-hum reaction in the bond market. The can was essentially kicked down the road, with August 1 being the key date when significantly higher levies could take effect. We say could because the administration appears willing to negotiate trade deals beyond the first of next month (this Friday). Moreover, with a slew of agreements in place, there's less uncertainty for companies (namely, US importers) to weigh. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 8 Warning Sign with JPM. Perhaps as a result, there is a slightly more upbeat tone as the Q2 earnings season progresses. Top and bottom-line numbers have been healthy, and all eyes will be on mega-cap tech this week. Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), and Meta Platforms (META) all report, but the world's most valuable publicly traded company, NVIDIA (NVDA), doesn't serve up numbers until late August. As for taxes, the president's One Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law on the 4th of July. While most of its provisions merely extended current policy, a key change was made for companies big and small that have major capex plans. Full expensing of capital investments could be a material growth trigger in the quarters to come. Over the weeks ahead, market participants should closely monitor comments from industry executives at conferences regarding new projects. This bonus depreciation feature only further fuels the AI trade, too, as firms across sectors have an incentive to spend rather than shore up their balance sheets. From a price action perspective, stocks approach the sometimes-volatile August-September stretch with high momentum. Both US and international equities are near record highs, rallying some 30% from their post-Liberation Day lows. There remain concerns, however. President Trump's constant lambasting of Fed Chair Powell threatens the central bank's independence. According to our Economic Calendar, we'll hear the latest policy decision from the Federal Reserve today, July 30, at 2:30pm ET. At the same time, worries about consumer spending as tariffs trickle down to retail goods prices make each economic report potentially pivotal. There are a host of macro crosscurrents. In such a time as this, focusing on what companies are saying can be your edge. We have good news on that front: With many corporate gatherings on tap now through September, you'll have plenty of opportunities to read between the lines and allocate appropriately. Here are the key conferences to watch: Information Technology & Communication Services July 31: Goldman Sachs AI Symposium August 11: Oppenheimer 28th Annual Technology, Internet & Communications Conference August 11: KeyBanc Technology Forum August 12: TD Cowen Communications Infrastructure Summit August 13: J.P.
