Knicks vs. Pacers: Indiana is reportedly considering going into the luxury tax to keep Myles Turner, but it shouldn't stop there

With the Indiana Pacers leading the New York Knicks 2-1 in the Eastern Conference finals — the second consecutive season they've advanced that far in the playoffs — ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported something that ought to be great news to Pacers fans:

The franchise is considering going into luxury tax territory to keep starting center Myles Turner, who will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Turner, who's on one of the best deals in the NBA, is earning $19.9 million this year, a ridiculously low price for what he offers as a two-way center.
