The Blazers have been clear winners in the Damian Lillard trade.
When the Portland Trail Blazers made the tough decision to move on from longtime star point guard Damian Lillard, many saw this as a win for the Milwaukee Bucks. After all, they were receiving the best player in the trade while Portland had to part with their team icon.
The Bucks were bounced out in the first-round of the playoffs last season, in part due to injuries hitting them at the wrong time. But this year hasn't been too strong for Milwaukee. If either of those moves were to happen, Portland would likely reap the rewards since they own multiple future first-round picks from the Bucks. The Trail Blazers own the Bucks' 2029 first-round pick as well as pick swaps in both 2028 and 2030
Portland should be rooting for Milwaukee to continue to spiral so their patience in the rebuild can finally take off. The Trail Blazers aren't going to sit around and wait for these picks to come in but rather, they could be extra benefits if they can build a contending team over the next few years.
