Bucks GM: Turner has always been our target. After Halliburton was injured, we realized that it would be possible.

July 17th News Recently, Bucks general manager Jon Horst was interviewed by "TheAthletic" and talked about how the team considered introducing Turner.

Horst said: "To be honest, we have been brewing this strategy for a long time. Although the ending of the season is regrettable, obtaining Turner has always been one of the many strategies we have studied. We also deduced various plans internally, creating salary space through different ways such as trading, placing terms, and using the tax situation that is more favorable this year than in previous years."

Then Horst said: "When we entered the offseason, we made it clear that in addition to the Pistons and the Nets, we had the strongest operating flexibility in the league. In fact, we held tradeable draft picks and contracts. This was not a helpless offseason, but A period of opportunity full of various exploration paths. Turner is always our goal. The unfortunate moment of Halliburton's injury coincides with our demand window. When we deduce internally, I suddenly realized that this might come true. So we pondered deeply: How to operate it specifically? What supporting actions are needed in the future? This strategy exists, but the key node that makes him from a goal to a real prey is the injury encountered by his opponent. This is the cruel reality of the business alliance. When an accident occurs, you must seize the opportunity to adjust the strategy, and we do it. "

Haliburton suffered a tear of right Achilles tendon in the finals G7. This summer, Turner agreed to sign a four-year contract with the Bucks worth $107 million.
