Turner agreeing to sign with the Bucks and then Milwaukee waiving Lillard stunned the NBA. Here's how the Bucks made it work financially.

Myles Turner shocked the NBA world by ditching the Indiana Pacers and joining the Milwaukee Bucks on a four-year, $107 million deal. But what makes this signing even wilder is how the Bucks pulled it off by waiving Damian Lillard and stretching his $113 million contract over five years just to create the cap space.

The Indiana Pacers made the choice to not re-sign Myles Turner. Instead of offering their longest-tenured player and franchise leader in blocks a good deal, they lowballed him. Turner then went to the Milwaukee Bucks and got a deal that he was happier with.
