What led to the Bucks decision to waive Damian Lillard?
Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski discusses what led to the Bucks decision to waive Damian Lillard, enabling them to sign Myles Turner.
Myles Turner has touched down to the Cream City.
And the newest Milwaukee Bucks center has a request for all the Milwaukeeans.
Turner, acquired via free agency earlier this summer in a stunning signing, wants to know all the local favorites.
“Milwaukee I’ve Arrived!” Turner tweeted at 11 a.m. Sept. 6. “It Feels Amazing Outside And I Feel Like Galavanting Around This Fine Saturday Let Me Know Some Good Spots Downtown Or Third Ward!”

Turner’s first stop was Sweet Diner in the Third Ward.
And he gave his Creme Brulee French Toast an A+.
Turner spent his entire 10-year career with the Indiana Pacers, a budding rival of the Bucks, and ended his tenure there with an NBA Finals appearance.
But he’s no longer a guest coming into the city.
He’s here to stay after signing a four-year, $107 million contract to join forces with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
