The Pacers surprised the entire basketball world with their deep run in the postseason, and they nearly finished it off with another upset. Unfortunately, they couldn’t get it done, and now Indiana has to find a way to get back. It starts with offseason decisions, and one of them involves Myles Turner.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/ranking-3-best-myles-turner-free-agency-destinations-if-he-leaves-pacers">Myles Turner is entering free agency</a> this offseason, so that will be a major aspect on the Pacers’ summer. The veteran center has been with the Pacers for his entire career, but he was a big part of this playoff run. Indiana head coach Rick Carlisle <a href="https://x.com/RomeovilleKid/status/1937487135109718237" rel="noopener">wants to re-sign</a> him.</p><p>“#Pacers HC Rick Carlisle said on @MorningShow1075 that re-signing C Myles Turner this offseason remains a priority,” James Boyd said in a post. “Of course, Carlisle noted that he wouldn’t get into contract numbers or anything like that but expressed complete faith in the front office.”</p><p>After an outstanding college basketball career at Texas, Turner was selected in the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft by the Pacers. He has now spent 10 years with the team, and he has been an impact player throughout his professional career.</p><p>Turner has averaged double figures in terms of scoring during every season in his career. His best year was the 2022-23 season when he averaged over 18 points per game. He was terrific this season as well as he finished the year averaging 15.6 PPG, 6.5 rebounds per game and 1.5 assists per game. He is a player that the Pacers want back.</p><p>This offseason was already set to be an important one for the Pacers given the deep playoff run, and Myles Turner is a big part of it. However, everything has changed now that Tyrese Haliburton has a torn Achilles. He could very well miss all of next season, and that will obviously have a major impact on this team. Getting back to the NBA Finals without him will be difficult, so it will be interesting to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/3-best-trades-pacers-must-make-after-tyrese-haliburton-injury-nba-finals-loss">see what Indiana does this offseason to mitigate that loss</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They’ve been rumored to be interested in Turner in the past, and now is the time to pursue him with everything they have.</p><p>LeBron James only has so much time left in the NBA, considering he has already <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-longest-careers-history">played the most seasons in NBA history</a> (22).

While the trade for Luka Doncic was well worth it, it left the team with a glaring hole inside.</p><p>James and Doncic thrive with the ball in their hands and need players around them who can knock down jump shots and finish inside. Turner can do both of those as he is one of the best 3-point shooting centers in the NBA.</p><p>His defense is what would really help the Lakers, though. Turner has twice led the NBA in blocks, and he sent back 2.0 per game this past season.</p><h2><b>2. </b><b>Myles Turner goes to the Warriors via sign-and-trade</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/745694721-myles-turner-eastern-conference-finals.jpg"><figcaption>Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The Golden State Warriors love their small ball, but fans have often wondered how well they could play with a great center on the roster. Turner is a 7-footer who’d be a clear upgrade over Quinton Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis. He has the 3-point marksmanship that a Stephen Curry/Steve Kerr-led team requires.</p><p>Turner is a career 36.2% shooter from deep. The Warriors would also be hard to score on with Turner teaming up with Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler.</p><p>In order to land Turner, the team might have to do a sign-and-trade deal involving Jonathan Kuminga. The former lottery pick has gone back and forth between flashing greatness and being out of Kerr’s rotation during his time in Golden State. The odds are against <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-rumors-jonathan-kuminga-golden-state-nba-free-agency">Kuminga returning to the Warriors</a> next season, so they might as well use him to land someone of Turner’s caliber.</p><h2><b>3. </b><b>Myles Turner signs with the Bulls</b></h2><p>The Chicago Bulls love the long ball. They <a href="https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/three-pointers-attempted-per-game" rel="noopener">ranked second</a> in the NBA with 42 three-point attempts per game last season. Nikola Vucevic, a shooting big man, likely won’t play in Chicago much longer. Not only will Vucevic be 35 years old next season, but he only has one more year left on his contract.</p><p>He might not even finish out his contract, either, as the Bulls underwent somewhat of a rebuild last year, evidenced by their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-trade-grade-for-zach-lavine-blockbuster">trade of Zach LaVine</a>. Turner would be the perfect replacement for Vucevic, and he’d allow the team to maintain their favorite style of play once the incumbent at center leaves the team.</p><p>The Bulls have the fourth most projected cap space for next season, so they can afford to pay Turner. The big man will likely demand a lofty contract in the offseason, but he’d be a worthwhile addition for any team that can afford him.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In a crushing loss for more reasons than one, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/thunder-star-jalen-williams-wholesome-gesture-after-nba-finals-win">Oklahoma City Thunder took Game 7 of the NBA Finals</a> 103-91 and lifted the Larry O’Brien Trophy in front of their home fans.</p><p>Big man Myles Turner has been a staple of this Pacers organization for a decade now, and he would have loved nothing more than to bring a title to Indiana. After the loss, he reflected on <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6444534/2025/06/23/tyrese-haliburton-injury-pacers-future-nba-finals/?source=emp_shared_article" rel="noopener">what he is going to miss most</a> about this team and its run to the NBA Finals, via The Athletic.</p><p>“It was special,” Turner said. “Just everything we’ve been through to get to this point, everything that went into it … a journey at that. We talk about the process a lot, not necessarily the end goal, but the process. I’m going to miss the process of this group.”</p><p>There is a good chance that Turner will not be in Indiana next season, as the Texas product will be a free agent in just a few weeks. He certainly earned himself a raise over the last two months during the postseason with lights-out shooting and great rim protection during the first three rounds of the playoffs.</p><p>However, it will be interesting to see what number the Pacers are willing to play Turner. The 10-year veteran did not play his best in the NBA Finals and was constantly overwhelmed guarding on the perimeter and dealing with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/thunder-news-isaiah-hartenstein-son-fast-asleep-nba-finals-podium">physicality of the Thunder inside</a>. His shooting touch evaporated as well, leading to some pretty ugly performances.</p><p>No matter what happens with Turner this summer, he will be remembered as a Pacers legend for the rest of his career. He has constantly been in trade rumors for the majority of his career, but he and the Pacers have stayed together the entire time.</p><p>Over the last two years, that patience from both sides was rewarded with runs to the Eastern Conference Finals and the NBA Finals. However, with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/pacers-tyrese-haliburton-achilles-injury-confirmed-father">Tyrese Haliburton’s injury casting a dark cloud</a> over the 2025-26 season, the Pacers have some very difficult decisions to make this offseason starting with Turner.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The longest tenured player on the team, Turner has had his name thrown in trade rumors almost every season before <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-myles-turner-reacts-to-60-million-indiana-extension-that-ended-trade-rumors">signing a contract extension</a> back during the 2022-23 season. Myles Turner certainly has been a major part of this Pacers run in the playoffs, especially on the defensive end in terms of blocks.</p><p>With two blocks through three quarters against the Thunder in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Myles Turner became only the second Eastern Conference player since Dwight Howard to <a href="https://x.com/statmuse/status/1935882440179876152">record more than</a> 45 blocked shots during a playoff run, as per StatMuse.</p><p>In addition to his two blocked shots, Turner also had three points, four rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes. He was not shooting particularly well as of publication, only going 1-of-9 from the field, but he was still making an impact on the defensive end of the court.</p><p>If the Pacers ultimately want to beat the Thunder and win an NBA championship, they’ll need continued strong play from their veteran center. During this postseason run, Turner has been playing a little over 29 minutes per game while taking around ten shots attempts.</p><p>In 21 games, he has been averaging 14.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.1 blocked shots with splits of 50 percent shooting from the field, 35.7 percent shooting from the three-point line and 80 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>In a funny twist of fate, Turner’s future with the Pacers, regardless of the outcome of the NBA Finals, was somewhat in question again as he is set to hit unrestricted free agency in the offseason, But while a player of his caliber will no doubt draw interest from opposing teams, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-rumors-myles-turner-close-to-contract-extension-amid-nba-finals-run">Turner and the Pacers are reportedly set for a contract extension</a>, and he isn’t expected to leave the only franchise he’s ever known.</p><p>The No. 11 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, Turner has played all ten of his NBA seasons with the Pacers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
