I don't think Turner can be your second best player on a contender. He is that currently wth the Bucks. I am not sure he can be a third. Maybe he can be your fourth?
The Bucks were in a sucky spot though. Some to their inability to screw up on draft picks. Supposedly they worked out Nemhard twice in that draft, but decided to draft an G league Ignite guy who may be out of the league shortly. Supposedly Nembhard has not forgotten and loves sticking it to the Bucks.
What do you do if you are the Bucks though. I don't think you trade Giannis until he tells you to. So you either try to make something work or just wait for the inevitable. When that comes it will be a long rebuild whether you are paying Lillard 22 millon or not.
I am not sure they can do anything to make them a contender again. They really need to hit on a fallen star like the Mavs did with Kyrie and the Clippers sort of did with Harden. In a funny turn of events, I liked their rookie last year in AJ Johnson. REally raw. They may have been in a better position if they kept Johnson and Middleton with one year left on his contract instead of gambling on Kuzma.
