It seems that a brief era of tumult has ended for the Milwaukee Bucks. In a three-way trade with the Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns finalized Wednesday, Milwaukee received star point guard Damian Lillard in exchange for Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen, a 2029 first-round pick and two first-round pick swaps. At the end of the 2022-23 NBA season, the Bucks faced a series of challenges that seemed certain to end their attempt at a dynasty prematurely. They were a no-show as the first seed in the Eastern Conference, going quietly in five games against the eighth-seeded Miami Heat. Star Gianni...

Damian Lillard’s agent, Aaron Goodwin has reportedly been telling NBA teams that the Portland Trail Blazers star is only interested in being traded to the Miami Heat. The point guard is not technically on the free agency market, but with a trade likely on the way, Lillard seems to be zeroing in on a desired landing spot. In an interview with the Miami Herald, Goodwin affirmed that Lillard has received interest from multiple teams but has also been clear that his client has a specific team in mind. “I do what I should for my client,” Goodwin said. “Some teams I did call. Other teams have called...

As Damian Lillard decides between the Portland Trail Blazers and free agency, a few front runners have emerged on the star’s list of potential destinations. He still hasn’t decided to leave his longtime team, but the possibility of his departure is more likely now than ever before. In an interview on Showtime’s The Last Stand with Brian Custer, Lillard named two teams that he would be especially interested in pursuing in free agency. “Miami obviously,” Lillard said. “Miami is the obvious one. Bam [Adebayo] is my dog. Bam is my dog for real. But I mean I think Miami is the obvious one. Brooklyn...

The Portland Trail Blazers earned a timely 134-124 victory over the Utah Jazz Wednesday, keeping them firmly in the hunt for a playoff spot with a 23-25 record. Damian Lillard scored 60 points in the contest, his highest-scoring game since the 2019-20 season. “I thought I played the game as it should’ve been played,” Lillard said. “I knew we needed to win so I came out with a mentality to attack and be aggressive, but it wasn’t like I just came out on fire. It wasn’t one of those games.” As Lillard noted, his eye-popping performance was not the result of exorbitantly high volume but was instea...

Following a loss to France on Sunday, the U.S. Men’s basketball team found its form Wednesday afternoon during a 120-66 rout against Iran. It was the first win of the Olympics for the men’s basketball team. The victory was only possible after head coach Gregg Popovich made some serious adjustments to the game plan and rotation following Sunday’s loss to France. First and foremost, Popovich changed the starting lineup. He inserted Jrue Holiday and Devin Booker. Both players came off the bench against France after traveling to Japan late following the NBA Finals. The improved lineup brought bala...

Damian Lillard has had his name constantly thrown around in the media about being shipped off to play for a team not named the Trail Blazers. However, Lillard has sounded off on the rumors, specifically saying that he is willing to give the new head coach for the organization, Chauncy Billups, a chance before forcing a trade. “Hopefully we make strides in a positive direction, and we can become a better team with a new coach. That’s where I am with it,” Lillard said. Lillard also discussed the frenzy around him, and how many times those in the media have tried to speak for him. “All of the peo...

The Denver Nuggets were able to prevent any come-back magic from Damian Lillard to advance to the second round of the NBA Playoffs. The Nuggets were on a mission to close the series and avoid a Game 7. Going to a seventh game is dangerous because that is where Lillard, one of the most clutch players in the league, thrives the most. The Nuggets are familiar with that because two seasons ago, the Portland Trail Blazers beat them in Game 7. “Nobody is trying to see Damian Lillard, one of the most clutch players ever, in a Game 7,” Michael Porter Jr. said. The Nuggets started the game with an imp...

The NBA Playoffs begin later this month, and with their arrival comes the second consecutive year of the much beleaguered play-in tournament. With the tourney come new and unexpected rules, so here’s everything you need to know about the tourney. It started last year, during the 2020 NBA playoffs, and was only applicable to the loaded Western Conference. In the league’s first ever play-in game, Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers took down Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies. This year’s play-in tourney should be even more fun and could feature stars like LeBron James, Lillard, Steph...

The Portland Trail Blazers are finally making the decision many expected them to make a full offseason ago by preparing to get rid of coach Terry Stotts, according to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania and Sam Amick. According to The Athletic, if Stotts can’t “pull a rabbit out of his hat” with “a playoff miracle,” Portland is expected to opt for a new coach. This move makes complete sense, as the Trail Blazers have been stuck in the mud for quite some time now. Although they’ve been a playoff team since the 2012-2013 season, or Stotts’ first year, they’ve never reached the finals. They’re ceiling ...
