US media Clutchpoints reporter Brett Siegel wrote an article reporting some inside stories about Turner joining the Bucks, which said that Turner did not seem to give the Pacers a chance to match the contract offered by the Bucks (107 million in 4 years) and left directly.

"Turner's decision to join the Bucks shocked the entire league, and it was not necessarily the decision to leave itself, because it was circulating in the Las Vegas Summer United venue that Turner didn't even give the Pacers a chance to match the offer offered by the Bucks."

"I really don't understand why the Pacers always underestimate his value," a agent close to the Pacers told ClutchPoints. "He paid less than the market value on his last contract, and they obviously expected him to cut his salary again because they didn't want to pay the luxury tax? That was shocking. We didn't expect that Turner's departure would be a topic this summer."

One Eastern Conference scout pointed out that the most shocking aspect of the deal was not Turner's decision to leave Indianapolis, but the Bucks he chose to join. Some in the league speculated that there was more happening behind the scenes of the Pacers than they were publicly reported. ”
