Turner has decided not to sign an extended contract with the team.
Reporter Mark Stein of ‘The Stain Line’ reported on the 8th (Korean time) that Miles Turner of the Indiana Pacers has turned down the club’s offer to extend his contract.
With a career average of 2.3 blocked shots, Turner is a center with league-leading block shooting ability. He also has excellent shooting skills despite being a big man. 메이저놀이터
Especially since his debut this season, he is a turner who is performing his best. Turner, who struggled with the aftermath of injuries in the previous two seasons, is having a career-high season this season averaging 16.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and a 3-point success rate of 38.0%.
As Indiana, he must have thought of continuing to accompany Turner, who is making a big success every day. But Turner, who is in the final year of his contract, recently turned down an extension offer from Indiana.
He’s a turner who’s been plagued by horrendous trade rumors since his days building big-man gin with Domantas Savonis. He’s one of the league’s most talked about traders in recent years. Even in the summer of last year, only transfer rumors were rife, but Turner’s trade did not happen.
After all, Turner is not going to sign a contract extension during the season with Indiana. After he goes out to the free agent market, he may re-sign a contract again, but it doesn’t seem very likely.
That’s why Indiana can use Turner as a trade card to receive assets, whose contract period is short. With his career-high performance, the odds of a team showing interest in Turner are high enough. Anyway, Turner will not be free from trade rumors until the end of the contract period.
