Bucks have put Giannis Antetokounmpo in an impossible position to succeed

The Milwaukee Bucks ruined their present and future around Giannis Antetokounmpo by adding Myles Turner this offseason. Signing the big man to a reasonable contract in free agency turned into a disaster when the franchise had to waive-and-stretch Damian Lillard to do it. The Bucks now have $22.5 million in dead money on their books every year through 2030. That will limit their flexibility and create plenty of regrets. It has already forced Milwaukee into a sticky situation.

The Bucks don’t have a true point guard on their roster. Giannis will be their primary creator, but he can’t play 48 minutes.
