There have been plenty of splashy transactions this offseason, highlighted by Kevin Durant’s trade to the Houston Rockets. The addition of the 15-time All-Star power forward, still one of the best scorers alive with his 37th birthday impending next month, instantly propelled Houston to the inner circle of title contenders. The Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks also made intriguing moves to shore up their depth as they gear up for championship bids, while the ailing Boston Celtics tore down major components of their title core en route to a “gap year” season with Jayson Tatum ailing. One of the other boldest deals of the summer, however, was Milwaukee Bucks general manager Jon Horst’s decision to stretch and waive the remaining $112.6 million owed to his own injured All-Star, Damian Lillard, and subsequently use the new cap room to steal longtime Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner on a four-season, $108.9 million deal.
