Miles Turner leaves Indy to sign with Milwaukee

[Hey Yo]

Free agent center Myles Turner has agreed to a four-year, $107 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, plus a player option for year four in 2028-29 and a full 15% trade kicker, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.

Turner, the longest-tenured Pacers player over 10 seasons with the franchise, made it known he wished to remain in Indiana. Since the Pacers' Game 7 exit in the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Turner's reps pushed to get a deal done. Ultimately, Indiana's aversion to the luxury tax, which grew after Tyrese Haliburton's torn Achilles injury, allowed the Bucks to acquire their new franchise center.

This guy was my pick for replacement of Lopez ,, but thought it would be impossible ... with Indy as a EC champ.

Turner , is an athletic center covering ground , boards, and has a nice touch.

Please NY, Boston, Indy , part the seas , here comes MILWAUKEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good signing. Getting rid of Lillard makes sense too, but sadly I don’t see them making much noise like in the past. Jrue leaving and Middleton turning into a scrub was the nail in the coffin. Giannis should leave

RIP pacers lol

Yep... they're toast. That's a shame lol

Dame gone , was a sign of age ... he had a tough time competing against 22-24 year olds.

Turner is a dream signing ...

People do not understand this is Bucks time.

Interesting...Bucks waived Lillard and used the remainder of his contract on Myles Turner. Good move, but Myles might be a younger carbon copy of Brookl Lopez. Wouldn't you assume Turner wouldn't agree to that unless he was told Giannis is coming back? Unless the Pacers were low-balling him.

maybe they can sign lillard and have lilard and haliburton play shoulder on shoulder as one player

TURNER WILL GIVE bUCKS A MORE INSIGHTFUL input on Indys chaos offense drawing out pick and rolls ...

Jon H. is a genius.

They'd probably still beat the Knicks like that.

Makes the Finals and leaves for the team they demolished I'm the first round. Makes sense lol.

It does. Indy won't be the same next year.

Maybe he wants to compete and feels like with Giannis in the weak East, he can help push them over the top.

Probably got offered more too.

Bucks should have done a sign and trade using Portis to get a guard if they were going this route. Their roster is too front court heavy.

Could be a Freak trade in the works….
