The Milwaukee Bucks made major waves on Tuesday morning by signing longtime Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner to a four-year, $107 million deal. In a corresponding move the organization waived Damian Lillard and will stretch the remaining $113 million on the sharpshooter's contract to cover the Turner expenses. Such a flurry of activity comes after months of speculation about Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the only franchise he's ever known.
Those waiting to get Antetokounmpo's reaction to the moves didn't have to wait long as the two-time MVP quickly posted on X.
"I don't know what's going on right now, man," Antetokounmpo captioned a picture of him celebrating the Bucks' 2021 NBA title, complete with a cigar, champagne bottle and dinosaur stuffed animal.
