Bucks Pick Up Damian Lillard In Record Deal

Damian Lillard

The Portland Trail Blazers have traded Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks’ The Orlando Magic has breathed a sigh of relief as he has not gone to the Miami Heat as he had long desired. Damian Lillard goes to Milwaukee while Deandre Ayton, Jrue Holiday, Toumani Camara, and two more pick swaps go to the Blazers. The Suns have acquired Grayson Allen, Keon Johnson, Juzuf Nurkic, and Nassir Little.

Reports say Damian Lillard now joins 2-Antetokounmpo at Bucks in epic trade. The Bucks now have a formidable duo at their disposal after the acquisition of the 7-time All-Star Lillard. Damian Lillard is among the best-ever point guards in the league and has been with the Blazers throughout his career. But he has felt growing dissatisfaction with the lack of high-level success of his present team in the playoffs.

The Blazers have missed making it to the playoffs during the past 2 seasons. The further they have advanced during his stay in Portland was the finals of the 2019 WC finals. They ultimately went down to the Warriors. This July Damian Lillard made a formal request for a trade after the Blazers brought in Scoot Henderson, another guard, with the Number three overall pick during the draft this year.

Damian Lillard Has Remained Dynamic And Consistent Throughout

There has been speculation over the future of Antetokounmpo. His team has been beaten in the 1st round of the playoffs in the present season. But with the arrival of Lillard, Antetokounmpo is expected to stay on at Milwaukee at the moment.

Damian Lillard consistently remains a dynamic and consistent player with a per-game average of 24 points in his last 8 seasons. A career average of 25.2 remains just behind Durant, Embiid, and LeBron James. Lillard even managed 71 points against Houston and has 17 fifty-plus points in his career. He also won the NBA’s citizenship award and the Olympic gold in Tokyo.
