Myles Turner: “So, in my head, I'm thinking, all right, well, you know what? It's my turn. You know what I mean? Like, you know, I'm going to the prime of my career. These are the most, you know, the prime money-making parts of my career, what not. I got to take full advantage where I'm at. So, we get to the finals. Yeah. And I'm thinking, we just superseded what we did the year before and I'm the only one really in the contract year. And, you know, with with Indiana, they're one of the few organizations that have never gone into the luxury tax. And what's being told to me is like pretty much all year is that you know you know we're we're going to lux make sure we take care of you yada yada and then again we lose in the finals whatnot. Hi goes down and then we get to free agency which is like a couple days later basically and they're singing a different tune. So they present their offer to me and you know I know how business works and I thought it was a lowball offer but I thought you know you work up from there right and then I get presented an offer with Milwaukee that's $40 million more. And like of course anybody this is a business at the end of the day, bro. I can't I love Indiana. I love where I was at. We got to the finals, but it's like I got to make a decision that's best for me and my family.
