The Blazers are trading Damian Lillard to the Bucks in a three-team deal that also involves the Suns, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
In the deal, the Blazers will acquire Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara from the Suns and Jrue Holliday, a 2029 first round pick and picks swaps in 2028 and ’30 with Milwaukee. The Suns acquire Jusuf Nurkic, Keon Johnson and Nassir Little from Portland and Grayson Allen from Milwaukee.
Lillard requested a trade from Portland in the offseason following 11 years with the team, but had reportedly preferred to go to the Heat. Instead, the Bucks, who lost to Miami in the first round of the NBA playoffs last year, made the trade to pair Lillard with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Lillard goes Milwaukee as part of a 3-team deal with Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, a 2029 unprotected MIL 1st, and unprotected MIL swap rights in 2028 and 2030 to Blazers. Phoenix lands Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson. https://t.co/Ge0H91AiIA
