On Tuesday, CJ McCollum signed a three-year contract extension, reportedly worth more than $100 million, that will keep the veteran guard under contract with the Trail Blazers through the 2023-24 season.
During a youth basketball camp McCollum is putting on in Beaverton, the 6-3 guard out of Lehigh discussed the extension and what it means for both him and the team going forward, his relationship with Damian Lillard why their partnership works, his thoughts on changes to the roster, the signing of Pau Gasol and the trade for Hassan Whiteside, why he declined to try out for Team USA's FIBA World Cup team, what skills he's working on improving this summer and why it's important for him to put on camps for kids.
