Shams: Myles Turner signs 4YR deal with the Bucks - BUCKS WAIVE LILLARD

[ontnut]

So Bucks actually ended up getting worse in the long run lol

Replaced Dame and Lopez with Turner

Yeah I have no clue how they're going to replace Dame/who's going to be their guards lol.

But TBF both Dame and Lopez were in the twilight of their careers. Lopez has been largely ineffective now, and Dame will be on the wrong side of 35 coming off an achilles injury. Turner actually might be better than both of them in the long term. The real question is who the heck is running point for them?

[LoveMyRaps]

Guess that’s the end of dame’s career. Sad.

Can he not sign with another team for the 2026-27 season?

[WuTang_CMB]

Indiana was never going into the tax. Not offering turner 20mil lolol

[Psubs]

Did Milwaukee get a 50% injured player exemption and used 100% of that on Turner?

[LoveMyRaps]

That's a little under ~27mil AAV for Turner. Pacers were only willing to give him 20mil AAV.

Poeltl should not be getting anything more than that for his next extension. We need to retain him for below 25mil AAV.

[DreamTeam09]

lmao this org is not serious

Gotta appease Giannis, that's why I don't wanna be in the big fish market, let's organically grow & then strike when the time is right

lol I don't know how you build out a competitive roster with that much dead money for the next 5 years combined when they have no good young players on the roster and little draft capital going forward.

Dumb, gotta chase players on minimums looking to rebuild their value

[TeamDisgruntled]

Guess that’s the end of dame’s career. Sad.

If his recovery goes half decent he’ll just ring chase as a super sub on contenders for the remainder of his career. TBD on the recovery though.

[SFour]

Bucks get better but at least Pacers are wiped out

[HumbleRen]

Guess that’s the end of dame’s career. Sad.

Can he not sign with another team for the 2026-27 season?

Possibly but he’s going to be like in his late 30’s coming off an Achilles tear.

I doubt he plays any relevant type of basketball again.

[MavCarter]

Absolutely insane how indys ownership would rather lose turner for nothing than pay the tax

[douggood]

Did Milwaukee get a 50% injured player exemption and used 100% of that on Turner?

no, they strech waived lilalrd, which saved 30 mil vs the cap, that dropped them under the salary cap. they are using the salary cap space to sign turner.

[MiamiSPX]

Indiana was never going into the tax. Not offering turner 20mil lolol

A few of us called that. No way their cheap owner was going into the tax for a lost season with Hali gone.

[DreamTeam09]

That Pascal trade cost them Turner, looks a little different now doesn't it. Those media pundits won't bring that up tho.
Our guys got out ahead of all of that. I'd do the exact same trades over n over again

[Duffman100]

damn we should have kept that pick! Pelicans definitely shouldn't have traded it back to them lol

[Godaddycurse]

Feels bad for Siakam, back to a dark place for him unless they trade him to a contender

[junot111]

Feel bad for pacers fans. That is gut wrenching to see your ownership cheap out after a finals appearance. That contract isn't even that bad

Wow, might be Lokey genius

Poeltl should not be getting anything more than that for his next extension. We need to retain him for below 25mil AAV.

That's why should've saved money and offered Luke Kornet the full MLE so Poeltl has less leverage. Not sure if the extra $3-4 million per year would make Luke choose Toronto over SA.

Naz Ried got more. Brutal lol.

[MavCarter]

I wonder how many years dames stretched contract is going to be on milwaukees books
