To recap: The Bucks, out of absolutely nowhere, agreed to a four-year, $107 million contract with Myles Turner on Tuesday, which they paid for by waiving Lillard and stretching the remaining $113 million left on his contract over the next five years.

The Warriors made a blockbuster trade for veteran star forward Jimmy Butler in February and surged afterward, causing many to call them dark horse title contenders. But after Stephen Curry injured his hamstring, they lost in the second round of the playoffs to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
