In a surprising move, Damian Lillard has been traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, significantly altering the Eastern Conference landscape in the NBA. This trade sparked conversations whether the Bucks have become the favorites over the Boston Celtics.
Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s previous comments about the possibility of leaving Milwaukee had put pressure on the Bucks’ front office to make a significant move, and they delivered. The trade is expected to narrow the gap between the Bucks and the Celtics in terms of championship contention. While some see a formidable big three of Giannis, Lillard and Middleton, questions remain about Middleton’s consistency.
Does this move put the Milwaukee Bucks above the Celtics in the contention race?
The hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast dived deep into this question on a recent episode, take a look at the clip embedded above to hear their takes.
