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.

The Bucks have a strong core with Antetokounmpo and the newly acquired Myles Turner. Adding Paul to that mix could be the spark they need to make another deep playoff run. It’s now just a matter of whether the East Coast pull outweighs his West Coast heart.

Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't involve himself in front-office decisions often but he did speak up against a trade involving Khris Middleton for Jimmy Butler years ago, former Bucks forward John Henson said.
