In this brief, informal monologue, Damian Lillard (referred to as "Dame") reflects on the recent trade of CJ McCollum. He describes the emotional difficulty of processing the news, noting that while he anticipated the possibility, the reality felt different and painful. Lillard conveys a sense of an "end of an era," recounts watching games in New Orleans and feeling the loss acutely, and admits he hasn't been able to move past the situation because he hasn't had to play since the trade.

That shit was tough to deal with, bro. I ain't gonna lie. Like, I was— you know when you know something could be coming and you know that it's a possibility, but when it happened, it's different. Like, damn. Absolutely. And I kind of been stuck in that space the whole time. Like, I've been watching every game in New Orleans like, damn, like, he really ain't coming back. You know, it's over. That's kind of where I've been at. I still kind of haven't even really moved past it 'cause I ain't had to play. The end of an era, bro.
