He was certainly not happy, especially because the Miami Heat was considered for long as the favorite destination for Lillard. The chances of the Bucks for the elusive championship have definitely multiplied ever since the PG factor. Just yesterday, the Bucks have also acquired the services of Cameron Payne as a backup point guard. However, it seems that the Bucks were indeed the best fit for Lillard, at least according to his ex-teammate.?

CJ McCollum weighs in on Dame Trade?

CJ had some interesting insights to share about this trade. He believes that the move to the Bucks could be a “better fit for Lillard than the Miami Heat. He?s(Dame) always talked about the importance of wanting to win a championship. Miami would have been great for him, and that?s where he wanted to go.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a different Beast according to McCollum

About the two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, McCollum further says, ?No disrespect to Jimmy and Bam, and that organization, and that roster, but Giannis is different. That?s a different guy to play alongside in terms of his dominance. There?s not another guy in the league that dominates the way he does. He?s just the guy that?s really, really hard to guard.?This statement underscores the impact that a player like Antetokounmpo and Lillard together can have on a team. The duo?s presence can tilt the scales in favor of a championship run.
