Haslem: Bucks sign Turner just to make the letters happy. They are not even closer to the championship

July 2nd News In the NBA free market, Miles Turner was signed by the Bucks.
ESPN famous reporter Brian Windhorst and former NBA player Haslem analyzed the signing on the show.
Windhorst: "I have a concern: I'm not sure how much change this can make. Myers Turner is an excellent player, the core center of the team, at the peak of his career, comparable to Lopez. And at this stage of their career, Turner is stronger than Lopez. He and Giannis will cooperate well, open up space, protect the basket, and he also suppressed Lopez in the playoffs. But the problem is that this operation doesn't seem to make the Bucks jump from fifth to second in the East, and it won't make people feel like 'Oh my God, this will change the East'. This is a bold move made by the Bucks management with the support of their boss. But what I'm worried about is that when people pass the initial shock period, they will find that the Bucks' situation has not changed substantially. I may be wrong. It's just July 1, and by January 1 next year, I might say 'Oh my God, this guy Turner is the All-Star,' but I do have such concerns right now. '
Haslem: "I totally agree with you. I like them getting Miles Turner, but you look at these two similar players (Trén and Lopez), it really doesn't change the style of the team's playing style. What I'm worried about is the outside defense, what should I do with the outside defense? Who will play point guard? There are so many questions to be solved for this team I did like Turner's signing. But I do like the signing of the contract. The Bucks lost a player who averaged 1.9 blocks per game, and exchanged a player who averaged 2.2 blocks per game, and got a player who was selected for the best defensive team twice and a two-block king. This is perfect for Giannis. This operation is to make Giannis happy, but can it give them the ability to win the championship? I don't think they are closer to the championship at all."
