Milwaukee Bucks signed Amir Coffey after waiving Damian Lillard, addressing their small forward shortage exposed in last season’s playoffs. The 27-year-old forward, a reliable shooter from the Clippers, arrives on a low-cost deal to strengthen Milwaukee’s thin rotation. Bucks struggled at small forward in their playoff exit, with Kyle Kuzma and Taurean Prince underperforming. Coffey provides depth despite modest usage and rebounding. Milwaukee may still explore trades if they contend, but his signing buys flexibility while sacrificing Andre Jackson Jr.’s spot.
