Also, I think Turner on a non-expiring deal is worth 2 FRPs and dead money.
Everyone has been going for more picks than I think they are worth. It feels like one isn’t enough (or something a bunch of teams would be willing to do).
In terms of what Indy wants to do, they certainly could keep Turner and this was smart business on their part if that is what they end up doing. However, the numbers kind of work in a way that also fit VERY nicely into a Dallas trade scenario with semi-expiring Bertans. I think the hard question for me to answer is why not just do a Bertans/picks deal now instead of the summer. The answer is probably LT. Indy pushed $18mm into 22/23. That is money that if we did a deal now and then resigned him in the summer would have cost Dallas an extra $60-$70mm. That is a HUGE financial benefit and probably supersedes the benefit of having Turner here a few months earlier if one thinks like an owner instead of a fan.
