The Milwaukee Bucks made a stunning decision on Tuesday when they waived superstar guard Damian Lillard. On the surface, it seems as if Lillard was mistreated by the Bucks considering the fact that he will be spending most, if not all of next season recovering from an achilles tear.

With the former Trail Blazer expected to miss most, or all, of next season as he recovers from the injury, the Bucks opted to waive the nine-time All-Star, stretching his contract over the next five seasons to make their new four-year, $107 million pact with Myles Turner work.
