Turner signed a four-year, $107 million deal with the Bucks in the 2025 offseason, which earns him about $27 million per year.

However, his first year did not go as expected.A Turner seemed to have been a weird fit for the Bucks, putting up just 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game, and shot 44% from the field and 38.3% from the 3-point line.

Kuzma has been with the Bucks since the 2025 trade deadline.

He played alongside Giannis and Lillard in the teamaTMs 2025 NBA playoff run, where they lost to the Indiana Pacers in a heated series.A This year, Kuzma averaged 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 69 games this season.

However, he played inconsequential games for most of the season, winning just 32 games to finish in the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference.A Myles Turner Receives Interest From Other Teams Getty MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN APRIL 05: Myles Turner #3 of the Milwaukee Bucks reacts after being called for a foul during the second half of the game against the Memphis Grizzlies at Fiserv Forum on April 05, 2026 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

He played in the NBA Finals in the 2025 NBA Finals with the Indiana Pacers before with the Bucks.A The Bucks also have numerous young prospects in the front court, such as Ousmane Dieng and the No.

13 pick this year Nate Ament.
