One NBA executive told ESPN’s Tim Bontemps and Jamal Collier that the Milwaukee Bucks waiving Damian Lillard turned a "bad situation into a worse one."

And that's not all for Milwaukee. To make room for Turner, the Bucks are stretching and waiving Damian Lillard after the star guard tore his Achilles in the playoffs, per ESPN. Lillard, who first joined the Bucks in 2023, is likely to miss all of next season. The Bucks owe him $113 million and will pay it out over the next five years.

Myles Turner has agreed to a four-year, $107 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, taking arguably the top available center off the market in the NBA’s 2025 free agency period.
