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

[ATLTimekeeper]

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

But Pascal is way better than Turner? That's not how you analyze a trade. The Pacers would have kept Turner if Hali didn't snap his achilles. There's no point in paying tax for a team without its best player.

[PushDaRock]

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

lmao we will never hear the end of it if BI doesn't work out here

[Lord_Zedd]

Lost in all this, is a reminder that Dumars gave up another goldmine of a pick in Indy's 2026

[Los_29]

Never thought Turner would leave Indiana. I’m stunned.

[PushDaRock]

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

5 years

Pels fans gotta be in shambles.

I mean, yes but Dumars is the real donkey here. That and unprotecting their next years pick, for the privilege of drafting Derik Queen

the rule is double the contract length + 1

so dame has 2 years, so 2x2+1 = 5 years
$113mil /5 year = $22.5 dead money on books for 5 years.

[LoveMyRaps]

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.

He'll probably ring chase and be a bench guy for a contender.

[ATLTimekeeper]

Turner isn't even better than current Brook Lopez. Milwaukee just broke their franchise for a solid starter.

It’s like he’s doing this intentionally. He must hate New Orleans.

[SFour]

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.

Wow, might be Lokey genius

More like desperate….their 1st half of the season better go well or Giannis is asking for a mid season trade

[_MidNight_]

Lillard will be 35 in a few weeks. Coming back from that injury at 36 is a tough pill to swallow.

Still shocking to see though.

Yup. They also would have re-signed him if they didn't have their pick.

[DreamTeam09]

5 - it's the duration of the contract + 1

Probably but that’s just basically the end of someone’s career to me anyways lol.

[Cyrus]

Pacers should sign Lillard two year deal

[Psubs]

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

Back to Toronto!

Poeltl, Agbaji, Dick, RJ and 2026 1st pick (top 4 protected)

PG IQ - Shead - Chucky
SG Ingram - Jakobe - Martin
SF Scottie - Ingram - Battle
PF Pascal - Scottie - Mogbo
C CMB - Mogbo - Chomche

[Zeno]

Indy is disappointing in their cheapness. Just match that and wait a year. They never want to ever pay the tax. Their owner probably was excited Hali got injured for the excuse not to pay.
