And this was probably the most shocking move of free agency as a whole. Entering free agency, the Bucks of course did not have the cap space to outright even attempt to sign Miles Turner. And with the Bucks feeling more pressure than ever to keep Giannis happy and remain contenders in the Eastern Conference, they chose the nuclear option.

This has now resulted in the Bucks having a ridiculous $22 million per year in dead cap for the next five years.
