Portland Trail Blazers point guard
Damian Lillard addressed his frustration amid reports that he s planning to request a trade away from the franchise in the coming days.
In an exclusive interview with
Chris Haynes, Lillard, who is currently representing Team USA in its training schedule ahead of the upcoming pandemic-delayed Tokyo Summer Olympics, noted that changes must be made for the organization to emerge as a championship contender. Even when I m playing well and we come up short at the end of the season, I go home and the first thing I do is look in the mirror and tell myself we didn t win a championship. Or if I didn t play as well as I should have, I’ve had to look in the mirror and tell myself that my performance was unacceptable and I have to do better. And then you go do better.

He has not been listed on any injury reports since being cleared of COVID-19 in the Western Conference Finals, but Suns guard Chris Paul embodies every middle-aged person in that he seemingly deals with some random new pain on a daily basis.
In Game 4 of the Finals, not only was Paul’s right index finger taped but also his left wrist. He’s committed 15 turnovers in the last three games alone, 17 total in 4 Finals games, and has only a 2-to-1 assist to turnover ratio in the Finals.
