Myles Turner: “I couldn’t tell Tyrese, Pascal, Obi, TJ, or any of those guys what was really going on at the time because, one, it’s basically a breach when you’re in active negotiations. And two, I couldn’t show my hand. If I told them what was up, then all of a sudden it gets back to the front office like, ‘Oh, Myles, you’ve got this going on,’ and that could mess up my whole free-agency process. And mind you, this was my first time ever being a free agent—an unrestricted free agent. So I had to cherish that opportunity to choose, and I was going to take full advantage of it.”

That team, me, Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, like on paper you're like ‘damn that's a good ass team’, but we never really like made it what it was supposed to be. So my time was up and Houston came calling and yeah, we got such and such. I'm like, "Huh? What you mean?" I hung up. I called. You said, "How much?" All right, cool. Yeah, I love Houston. It's my favorite city in the world, actually. You know, so that was really it. And I wrapped my mind around it, but they had young talent there.
