Have the Milwaukee Bucks made themselves the clear favorites over the Boston Celtics by trading for Damian Lillard?

Have the Milwaukee Bucks made themselves the clear favorites over the Boston Celtics after their trade for former Portland Trail Blazers star point guard Damian Lillard? How does this trade shake up the Eastern Conference and the league for the 2023-24 NBA season?

Was the goal of this trade to improve the Bucks or to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo from leaving when he becomes a free agent? And can Boston do its own roster build-up by dealing for veteran floor general Jrue Holiday? There are too many questions to ask given the potential magnitude of this unexpected trade — one that could backfire in a major way if developments don’t align in terms of chemistry or health.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “A-List” podcast got together to talk it over on a recent emergency pod.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear their views on what this trade means for the East.
