On Tuesday, Shams Charania announced that Myles Turner agreed to a four-year deal with Giannis Antetokounmpo's Milwaukee Bucks. While Turner, who had spent his entire career with Indiana, wanted to stay with the team, their unwillingness to go into the luxury tax has led to the two sides parting ways.

In order to create enough cap space to get a deal done, Milwaukee has waived Damian Lillard, stretching the remaining $113 million on his contract out over the next five years.

In response to the news, NBA fans were quick to weigh in:
