Where’s Matt? Where’s Matt Velazquez? — I’m right here. I used to cover the Bucks.

Since everyone is doing this, figured I’d mess around with it. https://t.co/NkerCGUE2o #NBA #82and0

@KurtInMilwaukee @Meta Already more helpful than @Meta, though. At least I got a response from a human being instead of getting the runaround and broken links from a useless AI chat bot.

Hope all is well. 😁

@Meta I’ve had my Facebook account for 20 years. Last week it got disabled out of nowhere. No email, no message, no appeal option. I can’t make a new account using my email or phone, either. This is ridiculous and unfair.

[Matt Velazquez @Matt_Velazquez]

Didn’t expect it (though I shouldn’t be surprised), but seeing @JimOwczarski and @eric_nehm writing about @Khris22m’s return to Milwaukee tonight has me feeling a whole bunch of feels.

@brewcitypaul What was Giannis supposed to say, “I’m so happy Dame is being waived!”? 😂

He can be happy about Turner coming and sad the only way the FO could make it happen was Dame going. Both things can be true.

I don’t think anyone in the Bucks organization is “pleased” to waive Dame.

[Matt Velazquez @Matt_Velazquez]

@Meules37 It happens pretty regularly, but not at this scale. That’s a lot of dead money to stretch over 5 years. But it’s a pretty clear sign the Bucks are going to do everything possible to keep winning right now.

Just in: The Milwaukee Bucks are waiving Damian Lillard and stretching the remaining $113 million on his contract in order to acquire Myles Turner, sources tell ESPN. Lillard's two seasons in Milwaukee come to an end as he rehabilitates a torn Achilles tendon.

BREAKING: Free agent center Myles Turner has agreed to a four-year, $107 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, plus a player option for year four in 2028-29 and a full 15% trade kicker, sources tell ESPN. Stunner.

Splash Mountain: Forever a Milwaukee legend.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Free agent center Brook Lopez has agreed to a two-year, $18 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, sources tell ESPN. Clippers and Lopez's agents at Wasserman negotiate a new deal for the 2021 Bucks champion to exit Milwaukee and land in Los Angeles.
