While some are wary of a potential signing of former Bucks guard Damian Lillard, others see it as a potentially near-ideal paring.

Damian Lillard is confident in his abilities as the free agent ponders his options after the Milwaukee Bucks waived the nine-time All-Star and seven-time All-NBA player on Tuesday.

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.
