Bucks Sign Myles Turner to $107M Contract

The Milwaukee Bucks have signed center Myles Turner to a four-year, $107 million contract with a player option in the final year and a 15% trade kicker, making it one of the biggest surprises of the NBA offseason. Turner, who was the Indiana Pacers' longest-tenured player and a key contributor to their recent NBA Finals run, joins Milwaukee after Indiana declined to enter the luxury tax to keep him. The Bucks created cap space for the deal by waiving Damian Lillard and stretching his contract, signaling a major roster shift. Turner is expected to form a formidable frontcourt with Giannis Antetokounmpo, bringing elite rim protection and improved three-point shooting. The Pacers now lack a starting-caliber center and are further hampered by Tyrese Haliburton's injury, narrowing their title window. Milwaukee hopes Turner's arrival will enhance their championship prospects in the Eastern Conference.
