Trail Blazers Rumor: Damian Lillard is expected to reunite with Trail Blazers after being cut by the Bucks

With Damian Lillard being cut by the Milwaukee Bucks, several teams will be interested in him. The Milwaukee Bucks' decision to cut Damian Lillard shocked the NBA as the star guard is still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon injury in the playoffs. The Bucks are working to create space to make other trades to stay competitive, and Lillard appears to be left out.

Lillard became a free agent for the first time in his career, and once he approached his return, there would be teams interested in him. According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, two teams have been listed as potential suitors, one of which is his former boss.

"The teams have been contacting him to try to understand his interests. The Miami Heat is one of the teams to watch," Haynes said. "When Damian initially made a trade request to the Portland Trail Blazers, the Miami Heat tried to trade him. This team will be involved in the trade."

"The Portland Trail Blazers are also among them, and this team has the potential to facilitate the trade."

Lillard will be interesting to return to the Trail Blazers, but it is just the starting point for him. At the same time, the Trail Blazers are not the top team in the West, and Lillard is eager to win, so seeing him return to the Trail Blazers will be a big highlight.

Damian Lillard was cut by the Bucks

Lillard's two-year career with the Bucks may not have been as smooth as he or the team would have expected. Although they made the playoffs, Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo's injury in the playoffs doomed their fate, and they were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers one after another.

Now, the Bucks are working hard to adjust the roster and Lillard must decide where to go next.

If the Trail Blazers want to see substantial progress in the team, they can take advantage of players like Lillard, but they have to wait until he returns from injury.

They have some young players, they have shown potential new stars such as Scott Henderson, Donovan Klingen, Sheden Sharp, Danny Avdia, and recently they have introduced veteran Ju Holiday. If the Trail Blazers want to stay competitive, they need more signings, and they can also bring in more players in the free agent market.

They just bought out DeAndre Ayton, which means they will use Klingen, Robert Williams III and Young Hansen as center depth.
