Sunday night saw the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns lose their respective playoff games. For the Bucks, it put them on the brink of elimination down 3-1 against the Indiana Pacers, while the Phoenix Suns were shockingly swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Both the Bucks and Suns started their seasons with a massive trade with the Portland Trail Blazers, one that sent Damian Lillard to Milwaukee, Jusuf Nurkic to Phoenix and Deandre Ayton to Portland.
While the Blazers would much rather want to be participating in the playoffs instead of sitting on the couch after a 21-win season, they could be in the best position of the three teams one season after the trade.
