Turner is cruel enough! A heart-wrenching sentence of the walker, the Bucks pick up treasure? But Yincheng also has a backhand

The Indiana Pacers and fans have not recovered from the blow that lost the team's soul, Myers Turner. His unexpected joining the Milwaukee Bucks is undoubtedly a worse deal for the Pacers who are already facing reimbursement of all attendance next season. After losing Halliburton and Turner, the prospects for this team that was originally expected to compete for the championship for a long time have instantly dimmed next season. Turner himself admitted that he left the team to "maintain competitiveness" - this statement made people wonder whether he felt that the Pacers had lost their foundation in the championship?

However, recent updates show that the Pacers may not be so desperate. Although Turner's vacancy is difficult to fill, introducing underrated center Jay Huff, coupled with James Wiseman who returned from injury, can reduce the losses.

Pacers may fill Turner's position with the "Center All" mode. Although Turner has excellent blocks and three-pointers, his rebounds have always been a shortcoming - starting in the seven games in the finals, and his rebounds ranks 11th in the series. What's even more heartbreaking is that the Pacers ranked 28th in the league in rebounding percentage and 29th in offensive rebounding percentage last season. I'm afraid no one will miss this, but new players will have the opportunity to improve.

who will coach Rick Carlisle choose as the starting center, and Isaiah Jackson, Heff, Tony Bradley and Wiseman are all candidates. Finding the right combination will be the key to the Pacers' playoffs.

Next season, they are likely to not be the top four in the Eastern Conference and may even play in the playoffs. But as long as the inside group can contribute 80% of Turner's combat power and significantly improve his rebounding performance, it is not empty talk to advance to the playoffs. The depth of the Pacers is also an advantage - they are one of the deepest teams in the league. Coupled with the growth of young players, such as the progress of Benedit Mathering and the development of Andrew Nemhard, who wants to replace Halliburton, are all highlights of next season.

Pacers may still miss Turner, but his shortcomings may be made up for by replacements. If Indiana could pick out a reliable starter from the inside group and wait for Halliburton to return healthy, he might return to the finals soon.
