The Milwaukee Bucks shocked the NBA world on Tuesday morning when it was revealed they had waived veteran guard Damian Lillard to make room for free agent center Myles Turner, with whom the Indiana Pacers had failed to make a deal.
It was a bombshell development, considering (1) the team managed to lure Turner away from the only franchise he has ever known, and (2) they committed to paying Lillard stupid amounts of money over the next five years to make it happen. And although there was some praise for the "nerds" in Milwaukee who very likely concocted the plan, not everyone thinks it was a good idea.
