Bucks Sign Myles Turner Four-Year $107M Deal from Pacers

The Milwaukee Bucks have officially signed Myles Turner to a four-year, $107 million contract, marking a significant offseason move as they prepare for the 2025-26 NBA season. Turner, who spent 10 years with the Indiana Pacers and was a key figure in their recent NBA Finals run, joins the Bucks without a sign-and-trade deal, much to the disappointment of the Pacers. Milwaukee waived Damian Lillard to accommodate Turner's contract and is aiming to build a championship contender around Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is reportedly pleased with the acquisition. Turner's departure is a major blow to the Pacers, especially with star point guard Tyrese Haliburton sidelined for the season due to an Achilles injury, leaving Indiana with a challenging road ahead. Bucks fans view Turner as an upgrade over previous center options, highlighting his defensive prowess and playoff performances against Milwaukee. The Bucks' front office expressed excitement about Turner joining the team and emphasized his fit on both ends of the court as they look to return to title contention.
