The Milwaukee Bucks made one of the biggest moves of the offseason.
Trading for Damian Lillard was something no one saw coming, partly because they already had a strong and proven core and partly because of his desire to leave for the Miami Heat.
The Bucks added some more depth behind Lillard by signing veteran guard Cam Payne, and he seemed quite excited about that on Twitter, warning the rest of the league about what they’re capable of.
Fear the Deerskiiiiii!

Payne is a proven veteran with a lot of playoff experience, and while he failed to live up to the expectations as a lottery pick, he’s a serviceable guy off the bench.
Still, needless to say, he won’t be on the court for that long for as long as Lillard is at full strength, as the former Portland Trail Blazers star figures to play at least 30 minutes.
Losing Jrue Holiday was obviously a big blow for their defense, considering that he was one of the best and most switchable defenders in the league.
Conversely, adding Lillard gives them a much better ball-handler and playmaker, as Holiday was often erratic and turnover-prone when asked to be the primary creator.
Giannis Antetokounmpo will most likely have to be assigned to the best scorer on the rival team, which is something the fans have been looking forward to for quite a while now.
This Bucks team has the potential to be utterly dominant and make another run at an NBA championship, and even Cam Payne knows it.
