I mean, the Hali injury can’t be overstated.

Also, the Pacers have long had interest in Ayton, I wonder if his surprise buyout made them more comfortable that they can move on from Turner for a much cheaper Ayton?

Woah! This is a great get for Milwaukee!

I don't understand. I thought for sure he was not going anywhere.

But I was also wondering, was he hurt in the playoffs? Because i saw him in the bench for long periods of time during the Knicks/Pacers match up.

Nope. Ayton to the Pacers.

Much cheaper than Turner.

Bucks let go of Lopez and were roasted for it yesterday only to sign a younger version of Lopez.

Ok, first big surprise...
Great contract value for Bucks too.

Is it Kuzma going to Indiana or a third team? Wow...

Think Bucks where under tax since they had the non tax MLE available

And super lazy. He doesn't sound like a guy Rick Carlisle will like much, imo.

this has to be a S&T for Kuzma right?

Bro our best player is out for the season. It’s a lost year.

I’m surprised by this, but not upset. A lot of it has to do with Bennedict Mathurin, because resigning Turner was a virtual guarantee we couldn’t keep him. And now he’s getting the ball and the runway is open for him next season.

I thought if any team could've withstood the loss of Hali it'd be Indiana who are touted for their depth. And their depth happens to be weak at myles turners position. Now they have to start Tony Bradley or Thomas Bryant?

Great deal for the Bucks. This might be enough to keep Giannis on the team. I assume it has to be a sign and trade deal since they don't have the money to sign him straight up.

ESPN ran a special about it last night saying we were pushing Giannis out by letting Lopez go....the thread for Lopez signing with the Clippers was full of people saying "Well, Giannis is leaving for sure now."

:lol:
