Damian Lillard was the centerpiece of a three-team blockbuster trade between the Bucks, Trail Blazers and Suns on Wednesday. But although Lillard’s move to Milwaukee received most of the attention, he was just one of eight players involved in the trade.
One key player the Bucks traded away in the process was defensive stopper Jrue Holiday, a favorite among fans and teammates alike. The guard is headed to Portland, and other teams reportedly are interested in acquiring Holiday from the Blazers.
However, despite Holiday’s stature in Milwaukee’s locker room, the Bucks apparently didn’t inform star power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo of Holiday’s inclusion in trade talks beforehand, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
