I respect the hustle...but Myles Turner isn't the saviour.

What is Milwaukee's roster like now?

Kevin Porter
Gary Trent
Kyle Kuzma
Giannis
Myles Turner

That's a play-in team right there.

There was obviously no way of knowing Hali would tear his Achilles and be out for the '26 season, which I'm sure also impacted Pacers decision to let Turner walk.

Now do the Bucks have a way to trade for LeBron James as their next move?

You guys are underrating Giannis. He’s like Jokic that he’s the ultimate floor raiser and easy to build around. Just surround him with 3 and D players. Pacers took a step back which the Bucks benefited from. Bucks still aren’t done and they’ll probably end up in the 5/6 spot in the playoffs.

Lillard's remaining 113 million will be divided over 5 years...so 22.6 million on their cap sheet per year for the next 5 years. So basically...the Bucks would rather have Myles Turner making 22.5 million per year AAV PLUS 22.6 million per year of dead money just for the opportunity cost of overpaying Turner.

It's going to cost the Bucks 45 million per year just for Myles Turner.

I think Pacers are going to try and tank for a year ,if the get a high pick and Hali returns in a year , not mad at that

No...I think I'm properly rating the Bucks. They got nothing except for Giannis and a bunch of role players. They won a championship because they also had Holiday, Middleton and Lopez still in their primes. They have none of that right now. They still have zero flexibility and not enough draft capital to drastically improve their team. Plus they will still be carrying Dame's contract on their cap for years to come.

Giannis is good but he alone isn't enough to win.

Both teams got worse in the long run IMO.

Turns out Haynes is cousins with Giannis' girl so he is just putting this out there to save face for Giannis
