In a recent appearance on The Athletic NBA Daily podcast, Caitlin Cooper of Basketball, She Wrote said that she believes the Indiana Pacers needed an upgrade over Myles Turner even before his departure in free agency to win the late rounds of the playoffs.
Cooper made it clear that, while Turner signing with the Milwaukee Bucks and leaving the Pacers for nothing was "not ideal," this could still be a great opportunity for the team to potentially upgrade at the position and put themselves in an even better situation to succeed than they did with the Texas native.
