    Smart move by waiving and stretching him. Dame has no useful basketball left.

    He probably won't sign to a team this season and wait till next year.

    Bucks organization: "Dame, we're waiving you and using the stretch provision on the remainder of your contract."

    Damian Lillard: "Hold up. Hooooooooold the f*** up. You mean, you brought me to sorry-ass, ugly-ass, Fonzie-and-Richie, we-couldn't-afford-to-live-in-Chicago Milwaukee to 'compete for a championship'. Hired and fired coaches left and right. Stuck me with that overrated Doc Rivers. We ain't did s*** here. Now you're telling me, 'Thank you for your service, now go eff off'?"

    Bucks organization: "Whew! And I thought you wouldn't understand. You understand everything. Good luck, Dame. And God bless you."

    Hmmmm. Lillard losing a few steps is better than FVV will ever be. Still had good shooting numbers.

    Full season more than likely. No way you are coming back from Achilles Tear in less than a year.

    Hmm.... Lillard waived, even though he will be paid in 2026 when he is healthy.

    Brooke Lopez is gone - signed with Los Angeles.

    Seems like the Bucks are sending a message to their star....

    What if Milwaukee had a handshake deal with him that he will resign in a year ant the minimum. And they just beat the system by improving the team.

    Just not for that kind of money...

    He was already slipping, and this is a brutal injury...But, Dame will tweak his game...accept a role.
