The Milwaukee Bucks shocked the basketball world when they waived superstar Damian Lillard to sign center Myles Turner. And it was a surprise for Lillard too. L

All-star point guard Damian Lillard opened up on being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks and returning home to Portland.

The Bucks won their division in Lillard's first year and locked up the Eastern Conference's No. 3 seed prior to a first-round upset. They finished fifth in the conference last season and fell to the eventual NBA runner-up Indiana Pacers in the opening round. And with that, Lillard's chances of earning a ring before his eventual retirement dwindled.
