Batman is finally getting his sidekick in Milwaukee! In a stunning move, Damian Lillard is leaving the Portland Trail Blazers to team up with Giannis Antetokounmpo on the Milwaukee Bucks.

According to ESPN’s insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the Trail Blazers are part of a three-team deal that also involves the Phoenix Suns. As part of the trade, the Bucks will receive Lillard, while the Blazers will acquire Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, and the Bucks’ 2029 unprotected first-round pick. The Suns are set to acquire Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little, and Keon Johnson.

It’s a win-win situation for all parties involved. The Bucks, who are coming off their 2021 NBA championship, are adding a proven superstar in Lillard to their roster. Lillard, a 7-time All-Star, has been a consistent performer throughout his career, averaging 25.2 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game.

This trade is the culmination of Lillard’s desire for a change of scenery. The 33-year-old guard initially requested a trade from the Trail Blazers on July 1, signaling his readiness for a new challenge. Though Miami was initially rumored as his preferred destination, several teams, including the Toronto Raptors, Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, and Brooklyn Nets, expressed interest in acquiring Lillard.

The NBA just got a whole lot more exciting as one of the league’s top stars joins forces with the reigning champion. Get ready to see Lillard and Antetokounmpo dominate the court together!
