The Milwaukee Bucks entered the offseason with no clear direction at center. They didn't even have one under contract. Would they bring back Brook Lopez? Promote Bobby Portis to a starter? Make an incredibly bold gamble and start Jericho Sims? There were no clear-cut answers. That is until a rival in Indiana decided not to pay Myles Turner what he felt like he deserved.
With Indiana reluctant to pay their starting center, the door suddenly swung wide open for a different team to make contact. Stunned, the Milwaukee Bucks offered him a significant $108 million contract over four years, and Turner accepted, giving them their starting big man of the future.
