Holy blockbuster trade, Batman. The Milwaukee Bucks landed seven-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard Wednesday as part of a three-way trade.
It’s no secret that Lillard has wanted out of the Portland Trailblazers organization for a while now. Rumors had been flying about the possibility of Portland shipping Lillard to other destinations to accommodate his request. Even Lillard was amazed at the heights these rumors reached, including a request involving the Miami Heat that set social media on fire.
With Lillard heading to Milwaukee to join Giannis Antetokounmpo, players around the NBA reacted to the shocking news.
Like fans, they are equally as stunned.
