A huge test for the Bucks and the grand duo

The Bucks sacrificed Jrue Holiday to get the incredible sharpshooter. The defensive phenom was vital during their 2021 title and has been their most consistent player. His absence can take a toll on the defensive end. However, Dame is sure to fire up the offensive end. After giving up such an integral part of the core, the Bucks will expect Lillard to up his game further. Antetokounmpo is waiting to sign an extension because he wants the franchise to build another championship team around him.
