'Reckless': What league insiders are saying about this stunning set of Bucks moves

71% Informative
Bucks waive and stretch Damian Lillard's remaining $112 million on his contract to sign Turner .
Milwaukee signed Turner for $50 million a year for the right to have Turner on their roster.
Turner played a huge role in Indiana 's run to the NBA Finals .
Milwaukee 's move was shocking on multiple levels -- both for what the Bucks did (landing Turner ) and how they did it (waiving).
Turner is the best unrestricted free agent center on the market in a year where there was very little cap space to seek out.
Turner is coming off one of the best seasons of his career, but his skillset is difficult to find in the NBA among big men.
The remaining options to replace Turner as free agents now are slim after several names went off the board early in free agency.
Lillard is a free agent now, but there's not a lot of reasons for anyone to be rushing to sign him now.
Under the NBA 's collective bargaining agreement, year-over-year raises are extremely limited in multi-year contracts.
Lillard will get all of the money owed to him and will get the chance to spend the next 12-18 months rehabbing his injury.
