Bucks’ Trent Deal Backfires on Portland | Portland Trail Blazers News
from Portland Trail Blazers News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Gary Trent Jr. got a four-year, $64M deal from Milwaukee instead of Portland—despite averaging just 8 points and shooting under 40% last season. The Blazers, who eyed him for a minimum contract, are now quietly benefiting as the Bucks’ roster moves spiral into chaos. This follows the Damian Lillard trade, where Portland still holds Milwaukee’s future draft picks—now worth more than ever. Milwaukee’s also paying Lillard $21M next season via a record-breaking waive-and-stretch to sign Myles Turner, leaving them bloated with cap space and questionable assets. What started as a plan to keep Giannis happy has backfired spectacularly, while Portland’s patience is paying off—until the lottery odds shift.
