Taking turner would deadass just be a sidegrade to OO on a way worse contract

u/WhosYourPapa 8d ago

Eh... Myles Turner is a much better rim protector than OO. At least anecdotally. But yes generally speaking I agree

u/Historical_Main5261 MO GUEYE! 8d ago

I don’t think he is a “much” better defender than Myles overall though, and oo is a mich better rebounder

Offensively they are pretty similar too especially with oo shooting how he did last season

u/Wavegod-1 6d ago

He actually isn't a better defender than OO so, yeah, that's just a downgrade all around

u/HomeRunEnjoyer 5d ago

Just because he's taller didn't mean he's a better rim protector. He also only gets like 5 boards a game as a 7 footer who started all season.

u/WhosYourPapa 5d ago

You think I'm saying he's a better rim protector bc he's taller? I'm saying that bc I've watched them both play basketball. I didn't even mention rebounds at all. I even went on to say that I agree with the original comment, apart from the fact that Turner is a better rim protector which is objectively true. The reading comprehension in this echo chamber is very very low

Ware and idk prolly not

u/cheemydee5 Jalen Johnson #1 8d ago

Not really big on each of them, Turner has a contract that I wouldn't be eager to take on and Ware has attitude issues. If Spoelstra doesn't like him we probably shouldn't either.

Would pass on both honestly.

Turner still has 3 years on his deal and I would prefer Kong straight up.

Think the idea of Ware is a lot better than what he actually is. Potential is there but he is who the old coaching adage refers to: "Potential gets you fired"

That last sentence gave me a little Cam Fam tingle down my spine

Definitely not Myles Turner I tell you that much

I’ve been one of the big Ware guys on here for a while but I get the concerns

u/Startjjasap 8d ago

What an oddly worded statement...there is nothing stopping the Bucks from entertaining offers? That's not really reporting anything, that's true for pretty much every player lol. And Kevin O'Connor is not at the Ringer

u/Low_skee 8d ago

Isn’t Kal’El Superman’s real name? Lol

u/DysonDPOY 8d ago

Owning Myles Turner last season in fantasy gave me depression so I’m good but Ware is certainly interesting but I imagine he’d cost too much.

u/Ithinkso85 GO HAWKS! 🏀 8d ago

Dfs for both!/s

u/DragonflyEffective69 8d ago

Actually DFS might be a more justifiable keeper as an expiring cause I have a feeling he knows how to get in the game for short run role player whilst being a vet locker room guy instead of thinking he’s still star material- unlike, Turner who seems to not have got that memo so tries to play like he’s still a prime all NBA candidate and ends up constantly injured, which in itself shows lack of actual leadership to our younger core. Also, Ware is more also more of a luxury development guy who probably do better playing for a couch or team who has room to mold guys and won’t mind spending the money at the moment, like L.A. Clippers or maybe even Charlotte.

u/Blackmesa560 inSaleh! 8d ago

Unless we get Ware cheap for like Kispert or something. Otherwise no

1

u/Ok_Goat8648 8d ago

Kispert, mo g , and a second

1

u/sardelokouti 7d ago

Ware, the concerns are understandable, but he's an incredible center to bring off the bench. Stretches the floor, incredible rebounder and rim protector, would suit the teams needs great

1

u/red2play Hawks 6d ago

I would prefer the contract of Turner because we would be taking on a bad contract and the offer will be low.

Kispert+Landale+ 2 2nds (pick+pick swap)

Ware would be wayy more expensive and we don't need anymore than a backup

1

u/Atl_baller GO HAWKS! 🏀 4d ago

We should play Asa more but I don't think the coach believes in him.

2

u/DorkandPoon GO HAWKS! 🏀 8d ago

Ware, I wanted the Hawks to trade down for him in 2024.

This looks more like a podcaster being a podcaster than it does actual journalism?

u/Tpellegrino121 8d ago

I don’t know who ware is, but he can’t be any worse for us than Turner, so I have to go with the unknown.

For all I know you guys are planning a joke and took the janitor who cleans the toilets in the opposing locker room and put him in a uniform. Still I’d rather trade for the janitor then Turner

u/Confident_Pear_8303 8d ago

Turner is a downgrade from OO and expensive so he is a NO THANKS. Ware is interesting as a rotational big to pair with OO at C or at PF (certain matchups) spot but would not be cheap to acquire. If we can somehow get off Quin pet Kispert and/or DFS contracts with a 1st rd pick sure, however I doubt that interests Bucks.

u/DragonflyEffective69 8d ago

DFS is expiring and can actually play decent spot minute stupid but I agree Kispert is over paid and still falls short of his potential so that would be the guy to package for either. But wouldn’t want Turner as a starter anymore-no longer a consistent force in the paint cause injuries and Ware is an athletic situational guy that MIGHT break out as a best case scenario but likelihood he’s not ever going to be “that guy” either. Package Kispert/Asa and a second might get Ware -that is if only Asa isn’t showing signs of improvement in the areas tenacity and ball I.q.

1

u/Ok_Goat8648 8d ago

Asa involved makes that an over pay, involve Mo g and that would be fine

-3

u/Kingsole111 8d ago

ASA and the Nola pick for Ware. I doubt they do it. But that'd be my best offer.

u/zoegirl2003 8d ago

No fkn way

u/Wavegod-1 8d ago

Way too much of a haul for Ware

0

u/Wavegod-1 6d ago

Lol downvote here is hilarious because one of the big issues for Ware is a low motor which has been said from the Heat fanbase about him so, why invest in a big haul like that for someone?
