Teams will have to 'pick their poison' with the star duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard in Milwaukee.
All-Star guard Damian Lillard has been dealt to the Milwaukee Bucks in a blockbuster deal. The news comes roughly three months after Lillard informed the Portland Trail Blazers that he wanted to be traded.
Below is a collection of some of the reactions around social media to the trade, which also involved the Phoenix Suns.
The casuals won’t be addressed but the trailblazers fans and city of Portland that I love truly will be … and they will be addressed truthfully. Stay tuned
Excited for my next chapter! @Bucks 🎟️

Giannis(1 month ago): “I would not be the best version of myself if I don’t know that everybody’s on the same page… and if I don’t feel that, I’m not signing”
