Yeah, given the Gobert haul, I imagine it is two future firsts if Turner is willing to extend. However, the 120% rule would cap him at $21mm. I think he'd get more on the open market next summer. If so, not being able to extend is a ding to his value. Does Indy want to include 30 year old McConnell in the outgoing? With Hield, they have no use for THJ.
I posted yesterday that Brunson's outgoing plus Green gets you to a match for Turner. Powell/Green doesn't quite get there. Powell/Brunson would match Turner/McConnell (as would Powell/Brunson/Green). To me, this would be more pick based than anything from a talent standpoint. The question is how many.
If they wait to deal Turner until after landing Ayton, this would drag on a few more days. Of course, it would probably be easier for everyone involved for Indy to just ship Turner to Phoenix (or Brooklyn in a KD trade). Of course, if that was easy, it would be done and we wouldn't have the talk of an offer sheet.
