The Indiana Pacers’ center Myles Turner might get acquired by the Milwaukee Bucks this summer. The Bucks are observing Brook Lopez for sure, and they know that no matter how good he is at the moment, he will decline very soon due to the age factor. They might be looking for a player to replace him already.
The Texas Longhorns product played 62 games for the Pacers last season and averaged 18 points, 1.4 assists, and 7.5 rebounds per game. The Pacers can choose to trade Myles if they are getting good returns. The Bucks are up for doing that. Can they land him? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers involving Myles Turner.
What would the Bucks offer for Myles Turner?
The Bucks are expected to offer Bobby Portis, Grayson Allen, MarJon Beauchamp, and a first-round pick each from the years 2028 and 2029 in exchange for the 27 year old center. The Bucks are very less concerned by Lopez as of now. He is 35 and had a magnificent season. But if we look at the age factor, the Bucks can either hope for a couple of good years from him, or they can play smart by trading off their veteran for huge returns.

Why would the Bucks like to sign Myles Turner?
Replacing Lopez is one of the biggest reasons for pushing for this deal. However, the Bucks should be happy with their squad as of now since they are performing pretty well. But they may choose to experiment while they still have their star, and that is why signing Turner now looks like a great move.
