It's "Dame Time" for the Milwaukee Bucks.

On Wednesday, longtime Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard was traded in a three-team deal that also includes the Phoenix Suns.

Lillard, 33, is set to team up with Giannis Antetokounmpo and leave Portland after 11 seasons where he led the team to eight playoff berths, including a 2019 Western Conference finals appearance. He ranks first in team history in both points and 3-pointers.

The seven-time All-Star's exit from the team felt inevitable after he formally requested a trade in early July, but the news still rocked the NBA world.
