The Damian Lillard trade saga
Damian Lillard became a Buck this off-season, but the biggest casualty of the trade was Jrue Holiday. The 2x All-Star was shipped to Portland as part of the package that sent Lillard the other way. To pile more misery on him, Holiday was then traded to the Celtics almost immediately. Although he was a critical factor in the Bucks’ 2021 championship run, facing them for a revenge game might be on the cards tonight. As per his recent interview, Holiday seems to be at peace, but he was also looking forward to a little more transparency from the Bucks.
After being traded to the C’s, he is playing with the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference now. Coming off a shock loss against the Charlotte Hornets, the franchise might gather up the manpower to secure a win tonight.
