Just in: The Milwaukee Bucks are waiving Damian Lillard and stretching the remaining $113 million on his contract

[charknicks]

Damn, so by cutting Dame and stretching his contract, the Bucks were able to sign Turner and still have $10 million open to use this season, and next.

 

[daboywonder2002]

Bucks never heard of a buyout or attaching picks to get rid of a player? Waving and stretching is literally the worst road PR wise and Basketball wise. There’s a reason why it’s very rare. They tied up $22 million of their cap space for the next 5 years

If Ben Simmons can get moved @ $40+ million so can Dame, ebn hurt.

You know Dame ain't giving up money in a buyout. Like I said Bucks panicked and didn't want to take a gap year. So they sacrificed Dame for Myles. Thinking its gonna keep Giannis

 

[Raquinotj]

1. what picks?

2. Nobody wants a guy who can't walk at that kind of money.

Kyrie Irving just reloaded at $40 million per season approaching as a 33 year old. The Bucks could’ve worked out a $113 million buyout that didn’t count $22 million against the salary cap for 5 years. This gonna cost them long term. No picks and about 15% of the cap gone until 2031.

The Haynes report about Giannis being mad is a leak from Giannis and Dame. Both Giannis and Dame are great actors.

Horst isn’t making any moves without Giannis knowing.

If anyone is naive enough to think that the Turner move was made without Giannis approval, you must get scammed so easily. This is purely PR by Giannis to show Dame and his fans that he is distraught, reality is he's popping champagne at 9 AM in Milwaukee

 

[WesCrook]

The idea of Dame getting waived from a team NEVER entered my head before.

 

[Rain]

Uh oh

They need to send his ungrateful ass to Miami

Would you take a penny less if you were Dame?

Buyouts also don't stretch out, so even if Dame took $10 mil less, he might as well stay on the roster.

 

[wire28]

Thank you for everything dame. But it’s Lego time

 

[jay211]

Dame could re-sign with Milwaukee next summer.

No he can't. And he hated Milwaukee. He ain't going back to live there. And once you have been stretched you can't go back to the team, until the money clears.

Oh wow

I’m not hip

 

[THE 101]

Dame getting traded to the bucks when he wanted to be a Heat set off a massive chain of events.

-thought he was gonna be in Miami so left his wife to be a thot
-gets traded to Milwaukee and gets surrounded by crackhead whores while losing his family
-tears his Achilles
-gets waived
-free agent, torn Achilles, no family

For Myles Turner?
