Giannis Antetokounmpo is experiencing some discontent recently. On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Bucks made two unexpected choices that surprised the basketball world. To secure Myles Turner on a lucrative four-year deal, the Bucks opted to waive Damian Lillard, a move disclosed initially. According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, it appears that Antetokounmpo is unhappy with the decision to part ways with Lillard in such a manner. “Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is not pleased with the team’s decision to waive Damian Lillard, league sources tell me.” The decision to release Lillard, who sustained an Achilles injury during the playoffs, was undoubtedly grim but likely their sole opportunity to acquire Turner. Antetokounmpo had previously urged the front office to bolster the roster to enhance championship prospects, and they seemingly have. Haynes elaborated on Antetokounmpo's concerns during Free Agent Fever but did not disclose what specific issues troubled him.
