10-year veteran still leaves! Turner turns to the Bucks and officially bids farewell to the Pacers

The NBA has opened its summer free agent market in 2025, and the Milwaukee Bucks are very big, and they are really surprised.

After confirming that "Antetokounmpo" Giannis Antetokounmpo will be left early, the Bucks will start to reorganize the team and give Antetokounmpo more confidence. Because of this, the Bucks chose to let go of veteran center Lopez and freed up the center position.

Everyone is speculating which center the Bucks will introduce and whether they will sign Ayton, who was bought out by the Portland Trail Blazers. As a result, the Bucks unexpectedly signed the Indiana Pacers center Turner, and also cut Lillard for this, leaving a free salary space.

Turner has been with the Pacers for 10 years and has also helped the team reach the NBA Finals this year, and everyone thinks he will stay. Turner has never felt very secure. He has been involved in transaction rumors in recent years with the Pacers, so he doesn't dare to buy a house in Indiana, but rents a house.

Now, the Pacers are only willing to give a three-year contract of less than $60 million, which is really too low and makes Turner very hurt. At this time, the Bucks gave a four-year contract of $107 million, which is much more sincere than the Pacers. Therefore, Turner resolutely ended his 10-year Pacers career and went to assist Antetokounmpo.

Turner is a space center with good mid-range shooting ability and actually contributes a lot on the defensive end. He can be said to be a young and enhanced version of Lopez. This also shows that the Bucks continue to use Antetokounmpo as the core, and everything is based on Antetokounmpo's tactical style to equip the role players.

Pacers suddenly have no main center, and it seems they need to find a new inside line quickly.
