The forward felt conflicting emotions when the three-team blockbuster trade was announced on Wednesday.
Antetokounmpo broke his silence about the three-team trade on Thursday. The 2021 NBA champion admitted that it was gut-wrenching to lose his close teammate, but that he is excited to have Lillard join the team.
“It’s a bittersweet day for the city of Milwaukee,” Antetokounmpo told Chris Haynes. “You get Dame, who is a great player, but you lose a great guy. Jrue took us to the promised land. I’m 10 years in now. I know it’s a business. At the end of the day, Jrue will always be my brother for life. He’s one of the best human beings I’ve been around.
“But we’ve got to focus on the goal to win the championship. Dame wants this. He’s hungry to win, and he’s going to push us. I’m very happy to have him on our team.”
