The Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday waived nine-time All-Star Damian Lillard, electing to stretch the final two years of his contract. In other words, Lillard's tenure in Milwaukee is finished but the Bucks will still be paying the remaining $113 million he's owed on the final two years of his contract over the next five seasons.
So, Lillard will become a free agent once he clears waivers. And despite the fact that he'll turn 35 on July 15 and in 2025-26 will be recovering and rehabbing from May surgery he underwent to repair a torn left Achilles tendon, Lillard is generating interest from some of the NBA's biggest markets.
