It finally happened.
Damian Lillard is no longer part of the Blazers franchise.
However, he is going to a team no one even thought of. The Milwaukee Bucks.
Lillard goes Milwaukee as part of a 3-team deal with Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, a 2029 unprotected MIL 1st, and unprotected MIL swap rights in 2028 and 2030 to Blazers. Phoenix lands Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson. https://t.co/Ge0H91AiIA

That’s right. Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo are now teammates after a trade that shocked the NBA world.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, it’s a three team trade that will send Dame to the Bucks, Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, and a 2029 Bucks pick swap to the Blazers and Jusuf Nurkic, Nassir Little, Keon Johnson, and Grayson Allen to the Suns.
This is a trade that sent shockwaves throughout the NBA and lots of people had lots of opinions on it.

This now more than likely makes the Bucks the favorites to come out of the East considering they have a core of Dame, Giannis, and Khris Middleton while being coached by Adrian Griffin.
