After acquiring Damian Lillard, are the Milwaukee Bucks a surefire NBA Finals contender?

After acquiring star point guard Damian Lillard, are the Milwaukee Bucks a surefire Finals contender, or do All-Star floor general Jrue Holiday and the Boston Celtics have something to say about that? While there’s buzz about the potential pairing of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Lillard, some believe it’s not a guaranteed path to success.

The uncertainty of NBA outcomes, even with superstar-laden teams, serves as a reminder that anything can happen in the league. Concerns have been raised about the Bucks’ ability to defend against dynamic duo Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum and the relative inexperience of their first-year head coach Adrian Griffin. However, the Bucks made bold moves to appease Giannis and secure their status as championship contenders.
