For Myles Turner, it came down to how the Pacers’ offer in free agency fell short — never longer than three years, never more than an average of $22 million per year, as previously reported by The Athletic — and how the Bucks were willing to offer considerably more. “I feel like, let’s talk about value. Go where you’re valued, in a sense,” Turner said. “And I feel like the front office and the ownership valued me in Milwaukee more than the front office and the ownership may have valued me here in Indiana. So, again, that wasn’t a shot at the fans. I see how fans would have taken that personally, just how fresh you were off such a great run and whatnot. But again, I’m going to say this right to the camera. By no means did anything I say have anything to do with the fans or the city. This is strictly a business decision for me, personally.”
