The Milwaukee Bucks were surely hoping to get more out of Damian Lillard after landing him in a high-profile trade in 2023. A dream 1-2 combination with Giannis Antetokounmpo never truly materialized or bore significant fruit and any progress was wiped away when the veteran sharpshooter suffered a torn Achilles.
The organization made the somewhat surprising move to waive Lillard on Tuesday and used the freed-up money to land Myles Turner. Which means all Milwaukee has to show for their bold move to land Lillard is two consecutive first-round playoff exit.
