Pacers rumours: Miles Turner approaches renewal on NBA Finals

Although there are some questions about Miles Turner's future prospects, the latest reports say he and the Pacers are about to complete a contract renewal.

As fans predict whether the Indiana Pacers can advance to the NBA Finals and will compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder, some analysts have also begun to pay attention to the team's recent performance in the offseason. Some speculate whether the Pacers will be "cheaper" in the lineup, and one of the players worthy of attention is star Miles Turner.

While Turner will be a full free agent in the offseason, Matt Moore's latest report on his blog Hardwood Paroxysm says both sides are close to completing a contract renewal. However, Moore questioned what this means for the team’s other players besides the star players.

"I'm really curious about what the Pacers would do because they can't pay the full salary for Miles Turner's renewal by the deadline," Moore said. "But it sounds like he won't leave anyway. The two sides are said to be close to reaching a contract extension, which will keep him with the Indiana Pacers. But what that means for the Pacers' other supporting roles is another question."

Turner has been with the Indiana Pacers since he was selected for the 11th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, and he has been the cornerstone of the team since then, especially in games against Tyres Halliburton and Pascal Siakam. How the Pacers view Miles Turner and offseason

While the Pacers are unlikely to give up Turner, this is still a topic of discussion in basketball, even those teams that may be suitable for Turner. Last season, Turner averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1.5 assists per game, shooting 48.1% from the field and 39.6% from three-point shooting.

The Pacers and Turner are about to renew their contracts, and ESPN's Brian Windhorst said on the "The Hoop Collective" that the team has "approved" Turner to join the "tax control".

"As far as I know, the hopes, beliefs and the will of the team's boss will allow Turner to join some tax controls for a while," Windhorst said.

In any case, Turner and the Pacers have the same goal at the moment, which is to win the first NBA championship in team history. The first NBA Finals game between the Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder will be held Thursday night.
