You know that trend where people say, “[Player] is the Michael Jordan of [Player]?” Well, it turns out the Bucks just got the Michael Jordan of Brook Lopez in the form of Myles Turner.

Turner signed a four-year, $107 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, per Shams Charania of ESPN, and is set to be the co-star alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo this upcoming season. With the departure of Lopez, a big hole opened up in the starting rotation, but Bucks GM Jon Horst was able to patch that up quickly.

Heading into the offseason, it seemed inevitable the Bucks would enter with a dark cloud overhanging the team, but now, some feel that storm has passed. Cap space was very limited, but the Bucks’ front office figured out a way to make room by using the “stretch provision” on Damian Lillard.

“By waiving Lillard prior to Aug. 29, the Bucks can use the ‘stretch provision’ in the CBA while leaving their future draft assets untouched,” Charania wrote. “For salary cap purposes, the Bucks can stretch his remaining two years to five — meaning they will pay $22.5 million per year.”

This is another significant piece of news related to the Turner signing, as the Bucks will now dedicate over $20 million to Lillard for the next five seasons, despite him no longer playing in a Bucks uniform. It’s an unfortunate end to what was supposed to be the best duo in the NBA. Milwaukee seemingly decided to prioritize the present over holding onto the dream of Lillard and Antetokounmpo.

After the devastating round one loss to the Indiana Pacers, the Bucks were in limbo. Lillard was likely not going to return until the last year of his deal due to two major injuries late in the season, and everyone expected Antetokounmpo to ask his way out due to the cap situation and roster.

The Bucks instead have brought back all key role players who hit free agency and added a better version of Lopez to their roster. Turner attempted 0.8 more threes per game than Lopez and hit them at a 2.8% better clip. He also averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists, compared to Lopez’s 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists.

Along with better stats, the eye test shows Turner brings necessary mobility to the roster, something the Bucks have consistently lacked in playoff matchups, particularly against Turner’s former team, the Pacers.

The move opens up both ends of the floor for Milwaukee as they look to provide Antetokounmpo with the best roster they possibly can, given the tough situation the front office has found itself in.
