On July 12, the NBA free market gradually calmed down, and three news came from the past night, among which the Pacers renewed their contract with Jackson for 3 years and $21 million to fill the vacancy of Turner's departure; Turner officially debuted at the Bucks, admitting that he had differences with the Pacers, revealing that he had been in a row with Antetokounmpo; the relationship between James and the Lakers seems to be about to be shattered, and the new season may be the last season of his Lakers' career.

According to famous reporter Shams, free agent center Isaiah Jackson reached a three-year, $21 million contract renewal agreement with the Indiana Pacers.

Pacers are excited about Jackson's development and return, and now they have locked the young core member in the team for a long time. After all, this summer, the Pacers lost starting center Turner and they needed to find a replacement, and Jackson happened to be their goal, and the two sides finally reached an agreement.

Turner joined the Bucks for 4 years for $108.9 million, and now he officially debuted in Milwaukee. At the press conference, he also revealed that there were some differences in negotiations with the Pacers to renew the contract, and finally chose to leave. Previously, Turner also said that he announced in the Pacers' chat group that he would join the Bucks, but only a few people replied to him. Obviously, some Pacers players are still a little dissatisfied with his departure and a little regretful.

Turner played for the Pacers for 10 years, and the boss had previously expressed his willingness to pay a luxury tax for him. Unfortunately, Halliburton's injury in the finals made the team untrustworthy. In the end, Turner chose to leave and joined the Bucks, wanting to continue to be competitive. At the press conference, he also revealed that he had communicated with Antetokounmpo and believed that they would cooperate well, which is what the Bucks hope to see. After all, in order to sign Turner, the Bucks chose to cut off the injured Lillard.

Finally, let's take a look at the situation between James and the Lakers. The relationship between the two sides seems to be almost shattered. The Lakers have confirmed that Doncic will be the core, and everything will be dominated by him. James has come to second place. And this summer, James chose to execute the 2025-26 season's player option because the Lakers did not provide him with a contract extension. Obviously, if James does not apply for a deal or buy out these, the new season may be his last season with the Lakers.
