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

[beenz]

the bucks cutting dame is nothing more than them kicking the can down the road. giannis leaving is still inevitable as this team as constructed isn't making any type of deep playoff run.

I hope dame doesn't go to the lakers tho.

 

[FaTaL]

Crazy turn of events but this seems like a W for Dame
Gets all his money, rehab on his own time (i'm assuming on his schedule and his hand picked doctors vs on the teams schedule, etc), and then gets to hand pick his next destination. Probably can go ring chase as a 6th man bench player type situation on a good team

i dont think hes the type to come off any bench

 

[CHICAGO]

This is utter nonsense by that buffoon Spears. Dame was due like $60 million in 2026-27 and wouldn't get anything close to that on the open market, especially off an Achilles tear. No way in hell Dame was opting out of that.

NOW HE GETS THAT MONEY
AND IS FREE TO GO
WHEREVER HE WANTS
SO WHY ARE YOU MAD?

How is he mad by pointing out the flaw in Spear’s comment?

Don’t be that guy

BECAUSE HE CALLED HIM A BUFOON?

HES CLEARLY AGITATED FOR NO REASON.

HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT
DAME WOULD HAVE DONE

WEVE SEEN PLAYERS OPT OUT
FROM A BIG YEAR
AND TAKE 2X THAT AMOUNT
OVER THE NEXT 4 YEARS
SO 30MS A YR FOR 4 YEARS
WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY BEEN
HIS NEXT DEAL

Lowkey...this kind of makes his decision to stay so long in Portland more understandable. He probably felt he had more than just a business relationship there and that they wouldn't treat him this way if something like this happened.

 

[AceDeuceTrey]

This is savage as fukk. The pic looks like it’s from when he tore his Achilles

 

[VegetasHairline]

If you include the Dame cap hits, the Bucks are paying $47 million a year for Myles Turner.

 

[Serious]

Nic Batum still getting paid years later

The difference being aren't or weren't 35 years old player dealing with a torn achilles.

Dame isn't getting 30M for 4 years based on the simple that he can't due to the over 38 year rule.

The Bucks did him a favor as he still gets his bread in full and now gets to go to Miami like you, @iamduval and others wanted.

 

[LV Koopa]

nikkas told Dame years ago that loyalty shyt is for the birds lol

 

[UpAndComing]

Uh oh

Like I said in the other thread, Giannis is so full of shyt lol

Heat are rebuilding had have no roster spots available. I doubt we go after dame but it would be nice to have him just for vibes and his family

 

[Rekkapryde]

Dame should goto to the Pelicans!!!!

 

[god shamgod]

To be real lillard low key won , bucks ain’t on shyt. He’ll be out majority of/all of next season get his dough,rehab the Achilles and can sign wherever he wants for the last few seasons he plays he can still get a championship

This is definitely unprecedented tho
