Lillard: I still feel sad when I wake up this morning and I love CJ & he's a true friend of mine

According to previous reports, the Pelicans' deal with the Blazers was officially concluded, CJ McCollum was sent to the Pelicans by the Blazers, and Lillard talked about CJ in an interview with the media.

Lillard said: "It's something we've been talking about for years and we know there will always come to this point over time, whether he's being traded or I'm being traded, and we know it's possible to happen. ”

"As a friend and teammate, I love CJ. He's not just my teammate, he's a true friend of mine, we've always been transparent with each other and this time it's no different. Here's the thing, we all know the moment is coming, but it doesn't make it any more acceptable, and I guess that's where I am right now and I still feel sad when I wake up this morning. ”

"He doesn't want to be traded, but he's smart, we've been in the NBA for a long time and we all know very well how this thing is going on, so I think he understands and accepts it, but it's not easy."

"When I walked into the pitch, into the dressing room, I thought he was going to be there, but when I saw his locker I showed a 'damn' look and I would definitely forget he wasn't here. That's it, it's crazy. Lillard said.
