More Bang For Your Bucks

In the latest blockbuster trade in the NBA; All-Star point guard Damian Lillard was sent to the Milwaukee Bucks to team up with one of the best players in the league Giannis Antetokounmpo; in a move that instantly makes the Bucks one of the favorites to win the NBA Championship.

In Lillard; the Bucks are getting one of the best point guards in the world; a steady performer who was loyal to Portland all these years; and perhaps most importantly; a fourth-quarter whizz-kid. Of course it didn't come easy. The Bucks had to give up one of their most influential performers themselves Jrue Holiday; but getting a cataclysmic player like Lillard is surely a right step forward.

Sensing a challenge to their mantle; the Boston Celtics have acted quick too. They acquired Holiday themselves; one of the most dynamic and inspirational players in the league; and a defensive phenom himself. And that didn't come easy too. The Celtics had to give up Malcolm Brogdon and other pieces of the puzzle; but overall the Holiday season has come early for the Celtics.
