According to recent news, Damian Lillard has been traded to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of a three-team deal that also includes the Phoenix Suns. This trade comes after Lillard formally requested to be traded in early July as the Blazers decided to take a patient approach to negotiations. Lillard leaves Portland after 11 seasons in which he made seven All-Star and All-NBA teams and led the franchise to the playoffs eight times, including a Western Conference finals appearance in 2018-19.
