When Lillard was originally traded to Milwaukee, his preferred landing spot was the Miami Heat, but with Jimmy Butler no longer on the team, and the Heat further away from title contention than they were when Lillard was originally on the trading block, that pairing seems unlikely.

Ex-Milwaukee point guard Damian Lillard has been given surprising odds of linking up with a West contender in free agent.

The Milwaukee Bucks made the shocking decision to sign Myles Turner to a four-year deal worth $107 million. In order to make that work, they had to waive and stretch Damian Lillard.
