Bucks waive Damian Lillard, sign Myles Turner in surprise free-agency maneuver (07.01.2025)

Free agency has arrived! The Milwaukee Bucks made a splash on
July 1, signing Myles Turner and waiving Damian Lillard to make
it work. Lillard, who wasn't due back until late in the 2025-26
season, if at all, now becomes a free agent after two years with
the Bucks. Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel joins
host JR Radcliffe to discuss it. How should we term Lillard's
tenure in Milwaukee?

The Bucks are also bringing back many of the same players,
including Gary Trent Jr. on a team-friendly deal, plus Bobby
Portis, Kevin Porter Jr., Taurean Prince and Jericho Sims. Brook
Lopez and Pat Connaughton bid adieu, on their way to Los Angeles
and Charlotte, respectively. Will Lopez get his number retired
eventually?
