It has been a whirlwind few days for the Milwaukee Bucks. They signed Center Myles Turner, waived Damian Lillard, and traded away Pat Connaughton. NBA insider Chris Haynes reported that Giannis Antetokounmpo was not happy with the team’s decision to get rid of Lillard.
Milwaukee’s moves this offseason illustrate a team going all-in for the 2025-26 regular season. Antetokounmpo will take the floor with a roster that will look different from last season. His status with the Bucks is not a guarantee, though. Antetokounmpo has been the subject of trade rumors for months.
Final Thoughts
Sims will look to continue working to reach his potential. While he is not expected to be a contributor to the Bucks, Sims will provide the squad with some depth off the bench.
