Surprising Bucks news has emerged on Myles Turner amid free agency.
Surprising Bucks News Emerges on Myles Turner Amid NBA Free Agency on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Milwaukee Bucks have had a busy free agency, as they try to make moves that will improve their roster. For the past three seasons, the Bucks have not been able to get over the hump, losing in the first round of the playoffs.
There have been different factors that went into them losing early, but it was time to make some changes. Also, the big piece is trying to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo, as nobody knows if he will stay with the team or request a trade.
The Bucks re-signed some of their key players, but they also went out and got a big addition, bringing Myles Turner to the team on a four-year deal. It was a surprise for many, as most thought he would re-sign with the Indiana Pacers.
At first, Turner's deal was reported as a four-year, $107 million contract, but that price has slightly increased, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
"Update: Milwaukee Bucks signed Myles Turner to a 4-yr, $108.9M deal, sources told @hoopshype. That’s more than initially reported. Turner got a fourth-year player option and 15% trade kicker as ESPN first noted. Turner spent 10 seasons with the Pacers & was a 2-time blocks leader," Scotto wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Turner was a big addition for the Bucks, especially after losing Brook Lopez, but he's younger and has the same skillset as him. If Antetokounmpo decides to stay with the Bucks, playing beside a player like Turner can help his game on both sides of the floor.
