Damian Lillard, point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks, is genuinely hoping that NFL’s DK Metcalf gets traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. Metcalf, who played the previous NFL season with the Seattle Seahawks, recently put in a trade request, and Lillard posted his picture on Instagram, tagging the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Las Vegas Raiders could definitely use a performing wide receiver like Metcalf, and have been making many big changes to their roster and coaching squad after a disastrous NFL season last year. The Raiders finished the season in fourth place of the AFC West with only four wins and 13 defeats. The Raiders were officially out of the season after losing to the Los Angeles Chargers in the first week of the year.
Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks were much better and finished second in the NFC West with ten wins and seven defeats last season. In the most recent NFL season, wide receiver DK Metcalf managed a total of 66 receptions for 992 yards, scoring five touchdowns for the team. Metcalf has been playing for the Seahawks since 2019, after he was selected as the 64th pick in the second round of the NFL draft.
Apart from his beloved sport, basketball, Damian Lillard has also been highly interested in football, and has been supporting the Las Vegas Raiders. Lillard hails from Oakland, which is the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, and has been quite vocal in both praising and criticizing the NFL team.
Damian Lillard And Milwaukee Bucks To Lock Horns With Orlando Magic Next
Meanwhile, Damian Lillard and the rest of the Milwaukee Bucks are scheduled to take on the Orlando Magic in the next game. With Lillard leading their offense, the Bucks are ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference after winning 36 games and losing 25 so far on the season.
The Bucks will be coming to this game after playing against the Dallas Mavericks and brilliantly winning with a final score of 137-107. In that game, Lillard was the lead scorer for the team, chalking up 34 points, grabbing three rebounds and assisting four times, while Giannis Antetokounmpo added another 32 points with 15 boards, to lead the team in this category.
The Milwaukee Bucks are currently riding a four-game winning streak and are eager to extend this. After meeting the Orlando Magic, the Bucks will be on their way to meet the Cleveland Cavaliers next up. In their previous meeting with the Magic, the Milwaukee Bucks managed to win 122-93.
