According to previous news, the Bucks signed a four-year, $107 million contract with Miles Turner.

In response to this, salary expert Bobby Marks said: "This is a heavy blow to the Eastern Conference champion Indiana Pacers.

"Turner eventually signed with Milwaukee, and the Pacers lost him in vain, which is deadly for a team that is only one step away from the NBA championship.

"Although they now have a $14.1 million non-luxury tax middle class special, there are not many excellent starting centers available in the free agent market.

" (if a contract renewal of Turner would have left the Pacers with a luxury tax for the first time since 2006. ”

Last season, Turner averaged 30.2 minutes of playing in the Pacers, scoring 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
