really interesting theme emerging this offseason is how teams are resetting / adjusting to achillies injuries to star players with the new cba deal 1. turner to the bucks this feels like the biggest domino that falls after haliburton went down with his achillies. indiana isn't a large market team, so the math may not have worked out to bring turner back. instead, indiana opts for financial flexibility once haliburton is healthy 2. lillard waived by bucks bucks maximizing their win now window by waiving lillard's remaining $113m is unexpected, but likely buys them another year to make giannis happy. turner's an upgrade to lopez (who signed with the clips) and lillard is a sunk cost with zero production 3. boston luxury tax reset celtics kicked off this trend by trading holiday and porzingas at the start of the offseaon. tatum down means they have a year to reset their cap and come back more flexible once tatum is healthy. @bracky what are your thoughts on how the bucks, pacers, and celtic's strategies after losing star players to achillies injuries?

Dame getting waived is a shocker, don’t know what they were thinking

i think it makes a lot of business sense, just feels really cold from a personal standpoint. dame is a sunk cost, providing 0 production for the next year, and taking up a valuable roster space. waiving him and stretching his contract saves a little money and allows the bucks to ideally find positive production from the roster spot that would’ve been 0 or negative. when competing for a title and going all in here, pretty big deal.
