LOS ANGELES—Damian Lillard is headed to the Milwaukee Bucks, where he’ll team with two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo
ESPN was among multiple media outlets reporting the three-team trade Wednesday, less than a month before the start of the season.
Portland will receive All-Star point-guard Jrue Holiday and draft picks from the Bucks. The Trail Blazers also land the Suns’ Deandre Ayton and Toumani Camara, while the Suns get Grayson Allen from the Bucks and Jusuf Nurkic, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson from Portland. AFP Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to the NBA title in 2021. They had the best record in the league last season at 58-24 but were stunned in the first round of the playoffs by the Miami Heat — the team that was reportedly Lillard’s preferred trade destination.
“I would not be the best version of myself if I don’t know that everybody’s on the same page, everybody’s going for a championship, everybody’s going to sacrifice time away from their family like I do,” he told the New York Times. “And if I don’t feel that, I’m not signing.”
