Damian Lillard回应了比赛招聘

在美国团队展览会上的新闻稿期间，波特兰径燃烧器“Point Guard Damian Lillard回应了关于Chauncey Billups作为团队的主教练的问题。肖恩Highkin的露天报告如果知道1997年的指控，那么Lillard就会影响他现在的雇用方式。

Lillard回应：

“当我说我不知道​​的时候，我的意思是，当我们让特里去的时候，我被问到那里漂浮的名字。并且那些已经漂浮在那里，我说我喜欢J-Kidd，我喜欢Chauncey。那个时候，我不知道其中任何一个。When I did learn of it and the process continued, I never felt like it was my job or my duty to say ‘do this’ or ‘don’t do this.’ I do my job, I improve my game and show up as the point guard of the team. In the past, I’ve never stepped on anybody’s toes or demanded anything or told anybody what to do and it was no different in this situation. That’s all I can really say. I’ve known Chauncey before and I never knew of that until this coaching process came into play. Our organization said they did a thorough investigation and went through everything, they went through the process of hiring a coach as they did, in a comfortable way. That’s not my decision or my job to say ‘This guy is hired ‘ or ‘This guy’s not hired ‘ or anything. This is what it is now. So here we are.”

Lillard还表示，如果他有话要说，他会说。

根据高素，Lillard期待着未来。

“我准备进去，这样做就像我一直这样做。希望我们能够在积极方向上进步，成为一个新教练的更好的团队。“
