Myles Turner announced his move from the Indiana Pacers to the Milwaukee Bucks via social media and discussed it at the Las Vegas Summer League. He emphasized the importance of competitiveness, referencing the Pacers' past successes in the playoffs. The Bucks waived Damian Lillard to make room for Turner, who signed a four-year deal. Turner had a successful season with the Pacers, achieving career-high three-point shooting percentages. General manager Jon Horst noted planning and strategy to improve the team and integrate Turner effectively into their system.
"For me, ultimately it was about just staying competitive. Two years ago, we got to the Conference Finals. Obviously, last year we got to the Finals. Being a big part of winning basketball just changed my entire perspective on this league."
"We had multiple paths throughout the course of an offseason. All our offseason planning prior to acquiring Turner was thinking about how can we take this team to the next level? How can we improve? And Myles is sitting there as the best free agent in all the market."
