Since Damian Lillard has requested a trade from his current team, there are many teams eyeing the 7-time All-Star player. Even though Lillard wants to be traded to the Miami Heat, it is not certain that the Trail Blazers will trade him to his desired team.
Bucks’ Trade Ambitions: Eddie Bitar’s Lillard Proposal for Milwaukee
Eddie Bitar is a popular NBA news writer from Fadeaway World. He often proposes potential trade deals between teams. Recently, Eddie has proposed a deal between the Trail Blazers and Milwaukee Bucks.
According to Bitar, the Bucks should trade their Bobby Portis, Jrue Holiday, and some first-round draft picks of 2024, and 2025, to the Trail Blazers in order to acquire Damian Lillard.
Eddie wrote:
“The trade of Holiday, Portis, and two future first-round picks for Lillard could be an intriguing move for both the Bucks and the Portland Blazers.”
He added:
“For the Bucks, acquiring Lillard would solidify their position as a championship contender and create a formidable “Big Three” alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton.
“Lillard’s scoring ability, leadership, and clutch performances would provide Milwaukee with a reliable go-to option and an elite playmaker to complement their star players.
Lillard’s experience in high-pressure situations would also be invaluable during the playoffs, where his hunger to score could make the Bucks even more dangerous as the team looks to regroup and make their second Finals appearance in the decade.”
The Milwaukee Bucks will have a superstar Trio if they successfully acquire Damian Lillard from the Blazers. The Bucks Big3 will include Lillard, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Khris Middleton.
All these 3 are superstar players, and they can score more than 25 points in a single game. The Bucks would be a really good defending team, as each of these 3 players can score more than 25 points in a single game.

“I can’t answer them right now cause I don’t know what’s about to happen.”

Damian Lillard’s Miami Heat Preference Poses Problem for Milwaukee Bucks
The problem is Damian Lillard only wants to be traded to Miami Heat, and that’s not a piece of good news for the Milwaukee Bucks. The Trail Blazers used the NBA Summer League, which took place in Las Vegas, to see if any other team was interested in their star player.
The team in charge of Trail Blazers, Joe Cronin, said that he is ready to wait for a long time, even months, to get a good return for Lillard.
