What does the Milwaukee Bucks trading for All-Star point guard Damian Lillard look like for the balance of power in the East? Former Boston Celtics forward Cedric Maxwell shared his thoughts on the Lillard deal and how it may change the playing field of the league’s Eastern Conference on a recent episode of his eponymous CLNS Media “Cedric Maxwell” podcast.
