Why The Milwaukee Bucks Do The Deal

For the Milwaukee Bucks, this deal is about securing the future as much as it is improving the present.

Myles Turner, at this stage in each’s career, is a more impactful player than Brook Lopez. Given the age gap between the two, that will only become truer as time passes.

After all, Lopez is getting long in the tooth at 34. On the other hand, Turner is squarely in his prime at 26. For the Bucks, this deal is about securing Lopez’s replacement ahead of time.

That’s going to be necessary if they’re going to continue contending. Big men who space the floor and protect the rim don’t grow on trees.

Meanwhile, they’re necessary to the Bucks’ system. Antetokoumnpo’s shooting woes require a floor-spacer alongside him, and their defensive scheme relies on elite rim protection.
