00:00As Miles Turner provides the first stunner of NBA free agency,

00:04he signs a four-year, $107 million deal to head to the Milwaukee Bucs.

00:11Yeah, I don't think it changes anything for me with the Bucs.

00:14Like, oh, now put them back into contention.

00:16They'll be solid as long as Giannis is there because he's an MVP candidate

00:19every single year.

00:20We'll get to the Damian Lillard stuff, but if we're just focused here,

00:22look, it's a stretch big.

00:23Like, if you lose Brook Lopez, if you watch him ever play basketball,

00:26he's good at shooting the three-point shot, can give you stuff down low

00:29and certainly be a big man.

00:30Same thing with Miles Turner.

00:31He's just younger and better version of him right now because you look at last year,

00:35you know, you shoot 48% from the floor, but how about this?

00:3839.5% from three-point range.

00:41That's what you need.

00:42You need bigs that can sort of stretch the floor and give Giannis that,

00:44you know, advantage to drive to the rim.

00:46You don't want a big that's camped out under the basket and clogging the lane.

00:49He provides a lot of really good defense, a lot of three-point shooting,

00:52and again, younger than Brook Lopez.

00:54It is a good match.

00:55I just don't think it moves the needle, but as we talked about to open the show,

00:59when Giannis Antetokounmpo is saying, we're not just going to sit here this year

01:02and say, oh, Dane's down.

01:03Let's just take a pause year because I'd rather go try to chase a championship.

01:07So at least they're being honest and saying, we're going to make this team better.

01:10Is it championship?

01:11We're the honest.

01:11That's going to be up to you.

01:13But here's how we're going to extend the payroll here by making a couple moves

01:15and getting you a key piece for your future to see if you can act on that next year.
