Damian Lillard breaks silence on Giannis Antetokounmpo through this troll post image

On Tuesday morning, the Bucks made the shocking decision to waive all-star guard Damian Lillard.

Lillard was set to miss most of next season and was reportedly happy that he could now choose his next team.

Lillard was waived after it was announced that the Bucks were signing Myles Turner.

Reports came out that Giannis was aware of the signing beforehand, which Dame had a funny reaction to today on social media.

What was Dame's troll reaction?

Ramona Shelburne of ESPN reported that Giannis was aware of the Turner signing before it happened.

She stated that it's unclear whether or not Giannis knew they would waive Lillard after that.

Lillard reacted to a post of the video of Ramona Shelburne breaking down the situation, and replied with a funny GIF:

Although reports suggest that Lillard is now happy with the situation he's in, there does seem to be some bad blood between the two former teammates.

Lillard doesn't seem to buy that Giannis wasn't aware, especially with the circumstances he and the team have faced recently.

Milwaukee is likely doing everything it can to keep Giannis in Milwaukee, as he has entered a period in his career for the first time where he could consider requesting a trade.

Giannis is one of the few players in the league who is such a cornerstone piece to a team that you keep him in the loop on everything that is happening with the franchise.

Either way, Dame appears to be slightly upset with how the situation was handled and reported, as the truth doesn't seem to be fully communicated transparently here, in his eyes.
