How will you remember Damian Lillard’s legacy in Milwaukee Bucks?

[Drygon]

2 years ago, Damian Lillard (32) was traded from Blazers to Bucks. This is how the trade transaction looked like.

- Bucks receive: Damian Lillard

- Blazers receive: Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, Bucks' 2029 first-round pick (unprotected), swap rights on Bucks' 2028 and 2030 picks

- Suns receive: Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson

Lillard averaged 24.6 PPG on 60.4 TS% during the reg. season, but made 20.9 PPG on 57.1 TS% in the playoffs. In the end, the Bucks never got out of the 1st round with Lillard as the co-star next to Giannis.

Now that the Bucks have waived Lillard, they will now paying $22,516,603 per year for the next 5 years to him.

As the title says: How will you remember Damian Lillard’s legacy in Milwaukee Bucks?

What do you honestly expect people to say here. Do you think anyone will look back on the 2 years he played there with zero playoff success fondly? What's your expectation with this thread.

[Meticode]

He should've stayed in Portland even with not winning a title. Instead of ring chasing.

Cursed by injuries.

Like Rondo in Sacramento, maybe? Like Chris Paul on the thunder? Just something I can acknowledge happened but have no good reason to ever talk about or discuss at length.

like Chris Webber with no knees left on the 76ers? Like Ron Artest on the Rockets?

Just things to acknowledge two or three times between now and the end of our lives that you might well never hear spoken of out loud in person again.

Edit: double post.

Paul on the Thunder was actually one of his better moments of his career.

I don't think that compares to the absolute underwhelming Bucks tenure that Dame had. It's something all Damn fans would likely want to forget happened.

Same way I think of AI in Denver, Russ in Houston. Just interesting, yet forgettable tidbits on other was stellar career.

Paul was good on OKC and the team overachieved?!

[Kblaze8855]

I know he was good on the thunder. And Artest was good on the Rockets. Dennis Johnson was all NBA first team on the Suns. But youre never gonna hear anyone acknowledge it speaking out loud for the rest of your life. Somethings just fade away in history to the point you don’t even see clips in a career recap.

As others mentioned, his legacy was locked and sealed with Portland. The kind of player that's always gonna look weird in a uniform that's not the Blazers. He may still have time to win a title but he won't be 'The Man' when it happens.

The bucks were cup champions last year but that's as far as it went for him. There's no such thing as loyalty anymore these days unless you're the gerbil or the freak.
