The prospect of staying in the team is not optimistic! Halliburton s injury caused a chain effect. Will the Pacers renew their contract with Turner?

As this Pacers can be said to be the oldest player. Turner has been plagued by trade scandals over the years, but in the end he was unable to leave Indiana. This year he even welcomed his first finals journey with the team. Originally, the Pacers entered the finals this time, and Turner's contract renewal situation was very good, but with Halliburton's injury in the tiebreak, the Pacers lost their first championship in team history. The prospects for whether Turner can continue to stay in the team this summer are not optimistic.

In the tiebreak with the Thunder, Turner was abandoned by Carlisle in the final quarter. After this game, he played for only 23 minutes, scored 6 points and 4 rebounds on 2 of 4 shots, and the plus and negative value of -12 is the worst among the five starting players. According to salary expert Bobby Marks, the Pacers were willing to pay luxury tax for the first time in nearly 20 years and renew their contracts to keep Turner, but these were things before Halliburton was injured in the finals. If the Pacers are no longer a championship team in the East, the team may change, and if Turner wants to get a contract renewal with a starting salary of 30 million, the Pacers will face a fine of 16 million luxury tax.

In this offseason, Turner and the Pacers' contract expired. Although he is nominally the Pacers' starting center, Turner is more inclined to a No. 4 position in terms of height and rebounding ability. In this finals, Turner's presence is not strong, with the total score of the highest score of only 16 points, and none of the rebounding games have reached double digits. With Halliburton's Achilles tendon problem this time, he is likely to face the worst case of reimbursement for the entire season next season. In this case, the Pacers do need to carefully consider the issue of Turner's stay or stay.

In this final, everyone may finally understand why Turner has been in trading scandals in recent years. On the offensive end, he is limited by his height and offense too monotonous, and it is indeed difficult to make a difference. Although Homgren is limited on the defensive end, it is indeed not worth the maximum salary. If the Pacers want to continue to compete in the finals or even win the championship, Turner is actually not their "necessary", but should find a big man who truly has the characteristics of a center.

When the Pacers were playing in the finals, there was news that teams including the Pistons and the Suns all wanted Turner. For small-scale teams like the Pacers, if the price of Turner's team is within their tolerance, they could keep him. But if Turner really wants the Lions to speak out and often requires a maximum salary of 30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 However, with Halliburton suffering a serious injury, the Pacers' prospects for continuing to reach the finals next season are not optimistic. After all, there are teams such as the Knicks, the Cavaliers, and the Bucks in the East. In addition, upstarts such as the Pistons and Magic will also create certain threats to the Pacers. How should the team plan this summer and continue to be competitive will indeed test the Pacers' decision makers' trading ability.
