In the immediate aftermath of Myles Turner's departure from the Indiana Pacers, it was believed that the team's front office was to blame for the veteran's exit. The initial thought was that management didn't do enough to keep the longtime center on their roster, and ultimately let him walk to join the rival Milwaukee Bucks.
In recent days, however, Pacers president Kevin Pritchard has alleged he found out about Turner's deal with the Bucks the same way as everyone else: in a social media post from ESPN insider Shams Charania. Pritchard also claimed that the front office would have been willing to go "deep into the tax" to keep the center, an assertion somewhat at odds with that initial read on the situation.
