What Damian Lillard’s trade means for the Warriors

In case you missed it, some huge news hit the basketball world on Wednesday, just 27 days before the start of the 2023-24 NBA season. A few months after requesting a trade with an eye towards joining the Miami Heat, and just a few days after a report that the Toronto Raptors had emerged as frontrunners, Oakland’s own Damian Lillard was traded from the Portland Trail Blazers to the Milwaukee Bucks, in a three-team trade that, among other things, sends Jrue Holiday and Deandre Ayton to the Blazers, and Jusuf Nurkiu0107 to the Phoenix Suns.
