Paywalled NYTimes Article mentions how Pacers are reluctant to pay Myles Turner, so here’s a Myles Turner trade
The trade works financially and gets the Bucks below the second apron. Getting below the second apron and getting Turner were basically my only two goals with the trade.
Why Bucks do it: Doc wants another center. Myles is an incredibly solid big man rebounding center who can stretch to shoot threes. Brogdon and Davis just make the money work but are “hometown” (Bucks and Badgers) guys.
Why Pacers do it: First round draft pick, who knows if the Bucks will be competitive in 2030, could be valuable. Also, despite the excessive vitriol on this sub, Portis is in the running for 6MOTY.
Why Wizards do it: it’s not like they’re trying to win. They get some picks and a rookie first round pick with potential essentially just for facilitating a salary trade.
Is this trade perfect? Nope. Probably a lot wrong with it, but figured it’d be fun to talk about Myles with him entering the radar of potential players on the move at the trade deadline (for what seems like the tenth year in a row).
