Report that Dame Lillard traded to Bucks

Lots of other parts moving too, highlighted by Jrue going to POR.

My first and overwhelming reaction is relief that he's not going to the hated Heat. I wouldn't want to face a team with Dame, Butler and Bam. Not that facing MIL with Giannis, Dame and Middleton won't be daunting, because it will be, but frankly I just don't hate the Bucks.

I was surprised the trade was not leaked to the media prior. I thought to MIA was a slam dunk. Also, I thought it was a win-win trade for all teams if you consider the objectives of the teams versus the assets.
