Pacers get TT and 2nd rd

Celtics get Turner.

This isn't even ringring funny.

No reason for the Pacers to do this.

07 Jul 2021 13:08:15
Some of you won't believe this, but Boston says no.

07 Jul 2021 13:28:41
If Boston says no, Stevens should be fired.

What justification is there for saying no to a talent improvement that’s that huge?

First off, you guys vastly overrate Turner. I know you like that he shoots threes, but so does whoever he's playing against. Boston could have had him last year. It's been reported that they considered him just to flip him, but he doesn't have a lot of interest around the league. That makes sense considering that he still plays for Indiana. Robert Williams, if healthy, is Boston's center of the future and he is a much more impactful player. They also have Moses Brown locked up for minimal money, and they now have Al Horford. Beyond that, they are going for financial flexibility. They may salary dump Thompson, but it doesn't matter what the trade for Turner. They don't want that player, at that position, for that money. It's not happening.

True Boston could have had him, Ainge didn't want him. There's a new Sheriff in town and Turner could be dealt later if things didn't work out. Can Williams stay healthy is the real question, remains to be seen. If Turner could be had for Thompson and a second you do it. TPE would be used to make the numbers work. Celtics don't want or need that 2nd rd pick.

They don't want that salary. I believe they're looking to sign Beal as a FA next offseason.

And no TPE they have fits Turner.

Nightcap, So are you saying using TT's 9.7 mil contract and Haywards remaining TPE can't cover Turners contract for next year, as long s the trade is made prior to the upcoming season? The remainder of Turners contract falls into Bostons salary cap for the following year. Outside of Haywards TPE I believe there are 3 other TPE's for roughly 12-13 mil.

No, the entirety of a player's salary has to fit into 1 TPE. So this trade is not even possible as it is constructed anyway.
