The Milwaukee Bucks made a surprising move during the offseason when they waived Damian Lillard, but it's quickly paying off in multiple ways. It opened up the financial flexibility to sign Myles Turner and has also given more minutes to emerging young guards like Ryan Rollins. It was definitely a controversial decision at the time, but the Bucks are not regretting it one bit.
