Myles Turner and Pacers agree upon 2-year $60M extension

[Regular_P]

That's not a bad extension. Indy wasn't even at the salary floor, so giving him that extra money this year while smoothing it out to $20 million each of the next two seasons is reasonable.

I thought those type of deescalating deals were frowned upon by players and agents, but I'm guessing $35 million this season was too much to turn down.

I guess the question for Indy is what do they do with Hield as he's up for an extension as well and was kind of tied together with Turner in trade talks.

Never quite understood why the Pacers were trying to trade him tbh

 

[42 Monks]

all this to reserve the right to trade him next year and continue the pump fake cycle

 

[AJtheOne]

The gave him an extension just so they can try to trade him its only right

 

[MikelArteta]

Wasn't he available this past summer for a 1st round pick?

Pacers owner is the oldest in the NBA almost 90 and he's owned them for 40 plus years . I'm sure he doesn't want to spend his last few years being trash when he has a enjoyable product he can watch.

And with the way Haliburton, hield and mathurin are playing why trade a legit good young big anyways. When you have to spend and have the money to spend .

IT WAS INITIALLY ROOTED
AROUND THE FACT THEY HAD HIM
AND SABONIS...

ONCE SABONIS WAS TRADED
IT MADE NO SENSE TO TRADE HIM ASWELL.

Kevin Pritchard has been on record mentioning that he's looking for the next Dipo/PG and willing to disregard everyone else on the roster that isn't that. I remember him essentially shytting on Sabonis before he was traded when he's now putting up superstar numbers that he was looking for.

SABONIS HAD A 20, 12 & 7
ALL STAR SEASON IN INDY ASWELL...

SAME PLAYER, DIFFERENT TEAM.

His offensive efficiency has gotten even better in that Sacramento offense.

THATS USUALLY WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU PLAY WITH BETTER PLAYERS
AND HAVE TO CARRY LESS OF THE LOAD.

That Indy roster wasn't necessarily that bad. They just lacked a legit PG and took too many gambles on injury prone players, but that's what happens when you aren't a FA destination.

He should have BEEN left. I remember wishing he came to the Rockets when we had Harden
