With the team agreeing to a four-year, $107 million deal with Myles Turner, Milwaukee needed to make room for him by waiving and stretching Damian Lillard. While it was controversial, the ultimate sentiment is that if Giannis Antetokounmpo is happy, then that’s all that matters.

According to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne, Antetokounmpo was "excited" about the Bucks signing Turner to a four-year deal, although she didn't know if Antetokounmpo was aware that move meant the organization was cutting ties with Lillard. Chris Haynes added Tuesday that Antetokounmpo was unhappy with Milwaukee's decision.

It’s only been a few months since the Milwaukee Bucks emerged as a potential suitor for then disgruntled Jimmy Butler. However, their interest in the six-time All-Star goes back way further than that.
