The Milwaukee Bucks have made notable offseason moves, including the surprising decision to waive All-Star guard Damian Lillard. The team recently re-signed free agent guard Ryan Rollins to a three-year contract worth $12 million, which includes a player option in the final year. After transitioning from a two-way contract to a standard deal, Rollins showcased his potential last season, averaging 6.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 56 games, with a significant jump to 10.2 points as a starter.

His performance did not go unnoticed, as he attracted interest from several teams in the Western Conference, including the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers. With Lillard's departure, Rollins may see an expanded role off the bench. This opportunity could be pivotal for his development, especially after showing promise in his starting appearances last season.
