Milwaukee Bucks struggle to find trade partners for center Myles Turner
Summary

The Milwaukee Bucks remain unable to find a trade partner for Myles Turner, who is currently signed to a four-year, $107 million contract. The franchise is shifting its roster strategy toward younger players and future assets following the departure of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was traded to the Miami Heat this offseason. Turner joined Milwaukee last summer, but his performance did not bolster his trade market during his first year with the organization. The Bucks recently replaced head coach Doc Rivers with Taylor Jenkins as they enter their first season without Antetokounmpo since 2012. While potential trade scenarios involving the Charlotte Hornets have been discussed, a more productive start to the 2026-27 season may be necessary for the Bucks to improve Turner's trade value before the league deadline. Turner recorded averages of 11.9 points and 1.6 blocks over 71 games last season.
