Myles Turner is a fixture in NBA trade rumors. Why is that? Some will argue that it reflects poorly on Turner. It’s easy to understand the argument.
If Turner is always available, and yet, he always remains on the Pacers, there must be something wrong with him – right?
Wrong. The truth is, Turner is extremely valuable. The Pacers have made him available for a long time for a series of reasons, and in all likelihood, they never got an offer that was equal to his value.
For a long time, he struggled to co-exist with Domantas Sabonis. By the time the Pacers traded Sabonis, Turner was a little off their rebuilding timeline.
By now, he’s in a contract year, and the Pacers may not opt to retain him.
Should the Dallas Mavericks?
