Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
One way or another, the Pacers ought to move on from Turner this season.
This team has an exciting young core. Turner isn’t likely to be part of it. There seems to be discord between him and the organization, and he’s likely to move on this summer.
With that in mind, they might as well collect some future-focused assets. For a player who’s a flight risk like Turner, a first-round pick feels like fair compensation.
The Pacers get an additional swap here for taking on Bertans.
