The Milwaukee Bucks waived Damian Lillard this offseason after he spent two years with the team from 2023 to 2025. When the Bucks first acquired Lillard, there were high expectations that he and Giannis Antetokounmpo would potentially bring the Bucks another title together.

Damian Lillard is now a Portland Trail Blazer for the second time, having re-signed with the team that drafted him in 2012 after he was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks on July 6. It was the end of a two-year sojourn with the Bucks, which unfortunately did not land him the championship he sought after asking to be traded out of Portland in 2023.
