Summary
Free agency has arrived! The Milwaukee Bucks made a splash on July 1, signing Myles Turner and waiving Damian Lillard to make it work. Lillard, who wasn't due back until late in the 2025-26 season, if at all, now becomes a free agent after two years with the Bucks. Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss it. How should we term Lillard's tenure in Milwaukee? The Bucks are also bringing back many of the same players, including Gary Trent Jr. on a team-friendly deal, plus Bobby Portis, Kevin Porter Jr., Taurean Prince and Jericho Sims. Brook Lopez and Pat Connaughton bid adieu, on their way to Los Angeles and Charlotte, respectively. Will Lopez get his number retired eventually? Music intro produced by Olivia Reiner and voiced by Michelle Rutkowski.
