Milwaukee Bucks assistant general manager Milt Newton recently provided insight into the high-profile trade that brought Damian Lillard to Milwaukee last summer.
Newton shared that the trade talks began when Lillard’s agent, Aaron Goodwin, approached the Bucks about the star guard’s interest in joining Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“At first, everyone thought Dame was going to Miami,” Newton explained, via HoopsHype.
However, Goodwin made it clear that Lillard prioritized winning and saw Milwaukee as a potential destination.
