Bucks are struggling to move Myles Turner $107 million contract<\/p>\n
The Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> are entering the 2026-27 season in a different position after moving on from Giannis Antetokounmpo. The franchise is reshaping its roster around younger players and future assets following the major offseason trade.<\/p>\n Myles Turner remains one of the notable veterans on Milwaukee\u2019s roster. The center joined the Bucks after spending the first 10 seasons of his NBA career with the Indiana Pacers<\/a> and was expected to play an important role alongside Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n With the Bucks now beginning a new era, Turner\u2019s place on the roster has become a significant part of the team\u2019s offseason outlook. His contract and first season in Milwaukee are also factors as the organization considers its next moves.<\/p>\n Bucks Struggle to Find a Taker for Myles Turner<\/p>\n The Milwaukee Bucks have not been able to find a taker for Myles Turner, who was signed to a four-year, $107 million contract last summer in a failed attempt to appease Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @BenGolliver<\/a> <\/p>\n The Milwaukee Bucks have been unable<\/a> to find a trade partner willing to take on Myles Turner\u2019s contract, according to ESPN\u2019s Ben Golliver<\/a>. Turner signed a four-year, $107 million deal with Milwaukee last summer in what was viewed as part of the team\u2019s effort to build around Giannis Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n The situation changed after Antetokounmpo was traded to the Miami Heat<\/a> this offseason. Milwaukee was able to include Bobby Portis and his three-year, $44 million contract in that deal, but Turner\u2019s contract has remained on the Bucks\u2019 books.<\/p>\n Golliver described the development as part of a difficult offseason for Milwaukee. \u201cThe Giannis Antetokounmpo trade was only the beginning of Milwaukee\u2019s pain,\u201d he wrote in his assessment of the Bucks.<\/p>\n Golliver also noted that Milwaukee has not found a team willing to take on Turner\u2019s four-year, $107 million contract.<\/p>\n The Bucks have undergone several changes since losing Antetokounmpo, including replacing Doc Rivers with former Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> coach Taylor Jenkins. Milwaukee is now preparing for its first season without Antetokounmpo since 2012.<\/p>\n Turner averaged 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.6 blocks in 71 games last season. He shot 38.3% from three-point range but 44% overall from the field.<\/p>\n Myles Turner Could Become a Trade-Deadline Option<\/p>\n Turner\u2019s market could change during the season if he can improve on his first year with Milwaukee.<\/p>\n \u201cWisconsin Sports Heroics\u201d noted<\/a> that Turner\u2019s first season in Milwaukee did little to strengthen his trade value. His contract has complicated trade discussions, but a stronger start to the 2026-27 season could give the Bucks more options ahead of the trade deadline.<\/p>\n The Charlotte Hornets<\/a> have been identified as a potential destination if Milwaukee continues exploring the trade market. Charlotte is entering a new phase around Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel and has also added veteran players such as Naz Reid, Grayson Allen and Dennis Schroder.<\/p>\n A potential three-player deal would send Turner to Charlotte, with the Bucks receiving Grant Williams and Ryan Kalkbrenner.<\/p>\n Turner could provide Charlotte with shooting and rim protection at center. His ability to stretch the floor could complement the Hornets\u2019 young offensive players, while his defensive presence would address an area of need.<\/p>\n For Milwaukee, however, a strong start to the 2026-27 season may be important if the team hopes to create a more favorable market for Turner before the trade deadline.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tDebayan Biswas<\/a> Debayan Biswas is a sports writer at Heavy Sports covering NBA, NFL, Soccer, and Golf.
