The Milwaukee Bucks have made what is perhaps the most shocking move of this NBA free agency: the organization has reportedly waived their star point guard, Damian Lillard. This decision was likely made to create cap space to sign center Myles Turner, who is expected to join from the rival Indiana Pacers.
Milwaukee will owe Lillard $113 million, which will now be stretched over the next five years. Needless to say, parting ways with a player of Lillard’s caliber was difficult. However, he is expected to miss next season after suffering a torn Achilles during the postseason, and the Bucks are looking to maximize Giannis Antetokounmpo’s prime.
