D amian Lillard is officially a free agent after being released by the Milwaukee Bucks following their move to sign Myles Turner away from the Indiana Pacers. Since his release, the Los Angeles Lakers are one of the teams that have been mentioned as a possible landing spot.

The Milwaukee Bucks are stretching and waiving Damian Lillard to make space for Myles Turner, and the man himself is reportedly happy about it.

For the Bucks, moving Lillard was necessary to make room for Turner. Antetokounmpo and Turner reportedly wanted to play together, and Milwaukee obliged. Turner fits in the frontcourt next to Antetokounmpo and could be enough to push the two-time MVP to re-up with the franchise next summer.
