@breed_full I’m not a Biden supporter, but I’m 45, hold a 6 figure career (many times over) and I do this. Have had short term memory issues for years. I compensate by being extremely organized and writing things down. This doesn’t mean he was losing it here.
The wildest part of the Myles Turner saga in Milwaukee isn’t the jarring drop-off in production. That almost felt inevitable.
And it’s not even the $83M he’s still owed.
It’s the fact that the Bucks executed the largest waive-and-stretch in NBA history — $113M — to make the Turner signing possible, and Damian Lillard is still a really, really good basketball player.
We’re just entering year two of Milwaukee’s five-year stretch of Dame’s contract, and he’s back in Portland averaging 20 PPG in under 30 minutes a night for a Blazers team that’s won 7 of its first 10 games.
Meanwhile, Turner is averaging 6.7 PPG on 32.9% shooting, while Milwaukee continues to carry a $22.5M annual cap hit for a player producing elsewhere.
The Bucks are effectively carrying nearly $50M against the cap this season between Turner and a player who isn’t even on their roster.
And perhaps the most damning part? The writing was already on the wall regarding Giannis’ future in Milwaukee before they ever signed Turner.
Given that context, this has to be one of the biggest front-office fumbles in recent NBA history.
Not sure it reaches Nico Harrison gifting Luka to the Lakers territory, but it deserves to be in the conversation.
@SleeperPacers@NBA@Pacers How are we feeling about the NBA in general? Sighing off. 30+ year Pacers fan. The amount of mob style maneuvering from the HQ, to the disgusting way the game is reffed now has me sighning off. Oh and the obvious bias against the Pacers franchise too 🤷🏻♂️
@GoCers25@itsCSB__ Well one of the problems is they are injured so much none of them ever seem to be playing peak basketball because they are always out of rhythm. Takes sometimes 1-2 months to get back into rhythm. Neismith and Nembhard both are always like resetting after they get injured
@NBAPerformances@TheNBACentel@NBA I’ve followed the nba for 30+ years. I’ve decided to let it go. It’s gross now. The product is distrusting. The fouls baiting is disgusting. The preference whistle is disgusting, and the organized crime style internal workings is just gross…..
@Pacers I don’t care anymore. Stopped watching. 30 year fan and tired of mediocrity to almost winning 🤷🏻♂️. You and the NBA’s bias against the Pacers’ organization has taken enough of my mental capacity.
@Runderella@CKEVS1998 Have the M3P too and my only hate is the way it takes on pot holes with the weight and low profile tires. Considering a 3 long range next with beefier tires
