CJ McCollum on Trade Rumors: "I've Been in the NBA for 12 Seasons. I've Been Like This Since My Third Year"

In his last game, CJ McCollum delivered one of the best performances of his career. The New Orleans Pelicans player scored 50 points, with 10 out of 16 on three-pointers, to defeat the Washington Wizards.

With the Pelicans looking to rebuild after a very challenging year with injuries, McCollum's value has significantly increased in the market following that last performance.

Nevertheless, the 33-year-old player remains unfazed. He makes this clear in statements to The Ringer: "I've been in the NBA for 12 seasons. I've been in trade rumors since my third year. After the third season, Bill Simmons was telling me they were going to trade me every week."

"I understand what that entails. For me, I play the right way. I do things correctly and play hard. Obviously, this team values me, and I'm sure there are other teams that value me as well," concludes CJ McCollum.
