Shams Charania: “He’s going to be a free agent, and it’s crazy. He’s 29. So clearly a guy that is still young in age, very young in this league. There’s going to be a couple teams that are going to look at him. The issue this offseason, there’s one team with salary cap space—and that’s the Brooklyn Nets. What other teams make sense from a sign-and-trade perspective? I do know of a couple teams at least that are looking into sign-and-trade possibilities. But listen, the Indiana Pacers know they need to have Myles Turner back. They can’t afford to lose him. So, he is in line for a big payday this offseason. I expect the Pacers to do everything they can to keep him. There’s mutual interest. The most interesting thing to me is the Indiana Pacers have not paid the luxury tax since the 2005–2006 season. By giving Miles Turner a deal that he’s likely going to be in line for, they will be entering the luxury tax for the first time in 20 years.”

Myles Turner had SGA alone in the post.

Remember that listless Game 1 performance from Chet Holmgren? He looks like he has acclimated to Myles Turner, and he is lighting him up.
8 points on 3-of-3 field goals in 4.5 minutes for Holmgren. And this comes after a 9-point first quarter in Game 2. – 8:47 PM

It was the pairing with Sabonis that highlighted the Pacers’ need to get rid of one big man, just like the Sacramento Kings had one point guard too many — thus creating a natural trade partner in the 2021-22 season. By then Turner had already had his name linked to any and everybody. “It was a lot of things. You know, my first initial emotions was, you feel a little rejected,” Turner said to Yahoo Sports. “You feel like your value doesn’t hold the same weight you thought it did, but then you start to learn it’s just part of a business.” -via Yahoo!

“He’s extremely loyal. He has a great ability to focus on what’s important,” Carlisle said Tuesday. “Over the years, I think all players that are really good players, at some time or another, likely have their name involved in trade rumors. Whether it’s leaked by another team, whether it’s somebody that just is throwing stuff on the wall, creating content, whatever it is.” -via Yahoo! Sports / June 11, 2025
