The inside story of the Pacers and Turner breaking up: The essence of human transactions becomes sinner in the finals, Harry s injury + tax avoidance becomes the main cause

On July 2, the NBA entered the offseason. According to the famous reporter Shams, Miles Turner reached a four-year, $107 million signing contract with the Bucks. Subsequently, several media people reported the inside story of Turner's breakup with the Pacers, and the poor performance in the contract + finals was the main reason.
After Turner signed with the Bucks, famous journalist Evan Sidery followed up with reports that the Pacers have been underestimating Turner during contract negotiations, offering quotes that are far below market value to save on luxury taxes. At the same time, he said: Turner and his agent decided to look for opportunities elsewhere because the Pacers obviously would not pay him what he deserved. Subsequently, Brett Siegel followed up and reported that the Pacers' annual salary offered to Turner by no means more than $20 million, and the Pacers' decision to allow Turner to leave the team was shocking.
Meanwhile, Evan Sidery reviewed Turner's performance in the Finals: 10.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, and wrote: "It's hard not to review Turner's loopholes in the Finals, which is another possible reason why the Pacers continue to move forward. If Turner plays at a normal level against the Thunder, the Pacers will win their first NBA championship. "
Before signing with the Bucks, Miles Turner had played for the Pacers for 10 seasons, during which he played 642 regular season games for the Pacers, averaging 14.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.2 blocks in 28.7 minutes. Last season, Turner played 72 games in the regular season, averaging 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2 blocks per game. In the playoffs, Turner played 23 games, averaging 13.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2 blocks per game in 29.3 minutes.
As we all know, Turner has always been the title of "the essence of human trading", so his departure made fans feel very moved. The famous reporter Kevin O'Connor commented: "Turner's trading rumor has been circulating for 10 years and has not left. When everyone thought he would stay, he left."
At the same time, Turner's departure also means that the Pacers will enter a new direction. According to Shams' follow-up, Turner has made it clear that he wants to stay with the Pacers. Since he was eliminated in the tiebreak, Turner's agency team has been pushing for renewal. However, with Halliburton's injury, the Pacers' avoidance towards luxury taxes intensified, eventually allowing the Bucks to sign Turner.
The famous reporter Brian Windhorst even said: "If I were a Pacers player, I would feel very disgusting. If I were Halliburton and I was already smashing things now, Carlisle should be angry. The management is not even willing to spend the luxury tax to keep the lineup and wait for Halliburton to return. They are mortal enemies with the Bucks, and they need some time to digest these."
