The Milwaukee Bucks are acquiring seven-time All-Star guard Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers as part of a three-team trade, multiple media outlets reported yesterday.
The Trail Blazers are picking up guard Jrue Holiday, center Deandre Ayton, rookie forward Toumani Camara, Milwaukee’s unprotected first-round pick in 2029 and swapped rights with the Bucks on first-round picks in 2028 and 2030.
The Phoenix Suns, in turn, will acquire center Jusuf Nurkic, guard Grayson Allen, small forward Nassir Little and guard Keon Johnson. Lillard, 33, has played his entire 11-year career with Portland, which selected him with the sixth overall pick of the 2012 NBA Draft. Now, Lillard will join forces with two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee.
