Jayson Tatum reacts to Bucks acquiring Damian Lillard
In a shocking move, the Milwaukee Bucks acquired Damian Lillard in a blockbuster trade with the Portland Trail Blazers this offseason, forming a potent duo alongside reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
This unexpected trade reverberated throughout the NBA, and Jayson Tatum, a familiar foe to the Bucks in the playoffs, weighed in on the game-changing deal.
In an interview with Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, Tatum revealed his genuine surprise at the unforeseen trade. “I was surprised,” he said.
“You saw the Damian Lillard trade talks all summer, and I never saw Milwaukee in that conversation. I never heard about them [being interested]. So, opening up my phone and seeing that definitely shocked me.”
Despite the initial surprise, Tatum recognized the Bucks’ formidable potential. “They’re going to have a hell of a team,” the Celtics forward said. “There’s no way around that. They have two of the best players in this league at two of those prime-time positions. They’re going to be tough.”
As the upcoming NBA season promises intense competition, Tatum is eager for the challenges ahead.
“I’m looking forward to this season. It’s a lot of really, really good teams in the league, and it’s going to be some good basketball this season,” he added.
