Asked if he thought he would be traded to the Bucks, Lillard said: “I didn’t think before I was traded, a few weeks ago, my agent asked me: ‘What do you think about going to the Bucks, I’m sure the Heat is not going to work out, the Bucks may be the best option for you.'” And I was like, that’s great, I love Giannis Antetokounmpo, and of course I’m open to the opportunity. But then I wondered how they were going to make this happen. My agent then said, ‘Just know the Bucks are an option for you.’ He finally told me that the Bucks had traded Holiday. I knew going stag was a possibility and I didn’t think it would really happen, so I was surprised.”
