Damian Lillard’s Lakers Comments Resurface After Bucks News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Milwaukee Bucks spiced up the 2025 NBA Offseason when they waived and stretched Damian Lillard's contract to make room to sign Myles Turner. Doing so means they'll pay Lillard $22 million annually for the next five years to not play for them.

Lillard found a report on X (formerly Twitter) by ESPN's Ramona Shelburne, who claimed Antetokounmpo knew about the Bucks' plan to sign Myles Turner to a four-year deal, and that he was "excited" about the move. To reflect his thoughts on the matter, Lillard responded in the thread with a GIF of Jack Black from the movie Nacho Libre.

Turner agreeing to sign with the Bucks and then Milwaukee waiving Lillard stunned the NBA. Here's how the Bucks made it work financially.
