Damian Lillard is no longer a member of the Milwaukee Bucks, who decided to part ways with him. With the departure of the nine-time All-Star, they freed up space in the budget and immediately used it to bring in Myles Turner, the former center of the Indiana Pacers.
Lillard, let's remind you, suffered a serious injury; rupture of the Achilles tendon during the playoffs against the team that later reached the finals of the NBA League, and since then he still hasn't fully recovered.
Lillard, just like the fans, was disappointed by this development of the situation, but unfortunately he had to accept the situation as it is, and focus on recovery and the next challenges. It seems that after everything, the time has come to say goodbye, and a new chapter in the career of an experienced basketball player.
The remaining part of his contract, which is worth 113 million dollars, was too much of a burden for the franchise from Wisconsin, which is why they decided to terminate cooperation with him. They will spread that amount over the next five seasons, which allowed them to bring in Myles Turner, who played for the Pacers for ten years.
The Bucks' historic move and what's next for Lillard
So, the famous "Dame Time" will earn over 22 million dollars a year for the next five years, even if he decides to end his career immediately. However, this is not realistic, because, in addition to that sum, he will also receive what is guaranteed in the contract with the new club he goes to.
This situation represents a historic move in the NBA, as Milwaukee made the biggest "waive and stretch" move ever seen.
It is not yet known where Lillard will continue his career, but there is no doubt that many teams will be interested in one of the best point guards today.
There are many teams that carefully analyze the market situation, aware of what a great addition Lillard would be. There is no doubt that he would further strengthen any team in the world.
