Yahoo Sports NBA Twitter reacts to Cam Payne signing with Bucks: ‘Milwaukee making moves’
Cameron Payne has agreed to a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, per Shams Charania.
This latest development in the Association comes a couple of hours after the Boston Celtics landed Jrue Holiday via a trade with the Portland Trail Blazers, and the reactions were plenty.
The Bucks moved for Payne — who will be Damian Lillard’s backup in the point guard position. Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to the latest signing in the league.

Sure! I’m not high on Payne and probably would’ve rather had Bullock if given the choice, but worth the flier.
Side note: this takes the Bucks to significantly more expensive of a tax bill vs keeping the spot open. Credit to ownership for that. https://t.co/izsJfHsm2O

Cam Payne and Jae Crowder in Milwaukee together has 2021 me absolutely disgusted.
Great landing spot for him though, he’ll make a fine backup to Dame and can play alongside him too at times.
