The Milwaukee Bucks look like they will have a formidable duo at their disposal with reports they have acquired seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard to play alongside two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Portland Timbers will receive Milwaukee’s 2029 unprotected first-round draft pick, and unprotected Bucks swap rights in 2028 and 2030 as well as Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton and Toumani Camara. The Phoenix Suns are also part of the deal and will receive Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson.
