The NBA has entered Day 2 of Free Agency, 2025. Players are getting scooped up like crazy. The shocking news of the day has been the Milwaukee Bucks waiving Damian Lillard in a historically big contract stretch. Close on the heels of that is Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner defecting to the Bucks, presumably the reason Milwaukee made a move that will add $22 million of dead money to their cap for the next five years.
The Portland Trail Blazers haven’t made any moves early in free agency save waiving center Deandre Ayton. Trading Anfernee Simons for Jrue Holiday last week was their big splash.
