Myles Turner reportedly signing with Bucks a ‘tough blow’ for Pacers | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports

FREE AGENCY SPECIAL, THAT’LL START AT 7, EASTERN. ALL RIGHT BOBBY. LET ME START WITH THAT. SURPRISED THAT UH MYLES TURNER IS GOING TO THE BUCKS AND THEN WHAT THEY DID WITH DAME LILLARD? YEAH, I WAS SURPRISED. I THOUGHT LISTEN, INDIANA GETS TO AN NBA FINALS AND UH, CERTAINLY TURNER IS A PRIORITY, I THINK THINGS CHANGE A LITTLE BIT AS FAR AS WHERE INDIANA IS GOING NEXT YEAR WITH THE ROSTER. I THINK THE INTERESTING THING, DAN, THEY’VE, THEY’VE, THEY IN 20 YEARS. UM OH WOW, THEY HAD SIGNED TURNER. THIS WOULD HAVE PUT THEM IN A TAX FOR THE FIRST TIME. LET HIM WALK TO A DIVISION RIVAL THAT’S TRYING TO KEEP THEIR FRANCHISE LEVEL PLAYER ON THEIR ROSTER. UM SO YEAH, IT IS IT IS SURPRISING UH THE LILLARD 1. I THINK THE LILLARD 1 IS PROBABLY MORE SURPRISING FOR ME. UM I KNOW HE’S OUT WITH THAT INJURY AND HE’S OWED, 113 MILLION DOLLARS AND THEY YEARS. IT’S THE BIGGEST STRETCH EVER 22.9 MILLION THAT HE’S GOING TO BE OWED. AND I THINK WHEN DAMIAN DOES GET RETURNED FROM THAT INJURY HE’LL HAVE A HIGH DEMAND. UH WHENEVER THAT IS, YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT BE A YEAR FROM NOW HERE BUT, UH, IT WILL BE INTERESTING HOW THIS BUCKS ROSTER WITH, UH, THEY LOSE BROOK LOPEZ, BUT THEY GET MYLES TURNER TO UH, TO JOIN. UH GIANNIS MORE, LIKELY, OR LESS LIKELY, THAT GIANNIS WILL BE ON THE MOVE. ANYTIME SOON. I THOUGHT IT WAS, I THINK IT’S LESS LIKELY THAT HE’LL BE ON THE MOVE. I AND I, AND I SAID THAT THIS MORNING WHEN WE WERE DOING TV, JUST BASED ON SOME OF THE MOVES THEY HAD MADE WITH BACK UM, GARY, TRENT JR, AND KEVIN PORTER. SOME OF THEIR ROLE PLAYERS UH THEY STILL GOT TO GO GET A POINT GUARD THOUGH. I MEAN, I THINK THAT’S GOING TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I THINK AN EYE ON IS CHRIS I WOULD KEEP AN EYE ON CHRIS PAUL. I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S IT FITS. WHAT CHRIS IS TRYING TO DO THIS AT THIS TALE OF HIS CAREER CERTAINLY BEING IN MILWAUKEE. UM, NOT CLOSE TO HOME. I KNOW THAT IS A PRIORITY FOR HIM, UM, BUT HE’S THE BEST AVAILABLE FREE AGENT POINT GUARD IN THE MARKET. HE PLAYED 82 GAMES LAST YEAR AND HE’S STILL GOT A LOT LEFT. UM, SO I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD IF I’M MILWAUKEE THAT’S THE PRIORITY FOR ME AS FAR AS GOING OUT AND TRYING TO GET A PLAYER LIKE THAT. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PACERS IN LIEU OF TYRESE HALIBURTON WHAT DO YOU DO? WE SAW WHAT DALLAS DID WITH KYRIE OUT AND YOU GET ANGELO RUSSELL? WHAT’S WHAT’S INDIANA’S MINDSET HERE? WELL, THE MARKET OF FREE AGENT CENTERS AND THIS IS KIND OF THE TIMING OF IT IS NOT GOOD FOR INDIANA BECAUSE WE HAD A RASH OF CENTERS COME OFF THE BOARD. YESTERDAY, YOU HAD BROOK LOPEZ, YOU HAD, UM, YOU HAD CLINT CAPELA. THERE WAS A NUMBER OF PLAYERS HERE REALLY THAT THAT THEY HAVE THIS UH, THAT WE CALL IT THE I WOULD KEEP AN EYE ON CHRIS THAT WE CALL IT, THE NON-TAX SPEND UH, DEANDRE AYTON IS THE BEST AVAILABLE OUT THERE? I WOULD THINK THE THE MARKET AND GETS A LITTLE BIT BETTER. IT HAD COOLED OFF A LITTLE BIT. WE THOUGHT MAYBE THE LAKERS WERE LINKED TO HIM, AND WE’LL SEE IF THAT PLAYS OUT. BUT I THINK IF AAYTAN WANTS TO GO TO INDIANA, THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE BETTER FIT FOR HIM. UM, BUT IT IS A TOUGH BLOW FOR, FOR INDIANA BECAUSE NOW YOU LOSE 2 OUT OF YOUR 5 STARTERS FOR NEXT YEAR. BUT ARE YOU BRINGING IN SOMEBODY AS A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT FOR HALBERT? WELL, THEY’VE GOT TJ MCCONNELL AND THEY HAVE ANDREW NMH HARD. UM, AND THEY DRAFTED, THEY DROVE. THEY WENT THROUGH THE DRAFT AND, AND PICKED UP UH, PICKED UP A GUARD THERE. SO I OKAY, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE INTERESTING THING, DAN IS THE MOVE THEY MADE BEFORE THE DRAFT. UM, WHEN HALBERT AND, UM, RIGHT IN THE NBA FINALS, WHEN THEY ROUND, PICK BACK, THEY TRADED THEIR, UM, THEIR OWN PICK THIS YEAR TO NEW ORLEANS AND GOT THEIR PICK BACK IN 2026. SO NOW THAT GIVES THEM THE FLEXIBILITY LIKE THEY’RE ALMOST KIND OF WHERE LIKE BOSTON IS WHERE YOU’RE ALMOST I DON’T WANT TO SAY GAP YEAR BUT YOU’RE YOU KNOW YOU’RE KIND OF YOU CAN KIND OF PULL BACK A LITTLE BIT HERE AND RESET THAT ROSTER DRAFT PICK. IF YOU’RE THE CELTICS? I WOULDN’T, BECAUSE I I KEEP ON COMING BACK TO THIS NOTION THAT EVENTUALLY JAYSON, TATUM’S COMING BACK. I MEAN, LIKE, AND YOU’RE GONNA HAVE IF THE GOAL IS TO TRY TO WIN IT. YOU DIDN’T YOU NEED J. UH, JAYLEN BROWN AND DEREK WHITE AROUND HIM AND IT’S SO HARD GETTING A PLAYER LIKE BROWN WHO’S A TOP 20 PLAYER AND, YOU KNOW, WHITE IS A, YOU KNOW, DO EVERYTHING TYPE GUY TO ADD TO YOUR ROSTER AND, AND TRADES AND FREE AGENCY. I WOULDN’T UNLESS IT’S, YOU KNOW, THE THE MOTHERSHIP OF PACKAGES AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, I I WOULDN’T MOVE OFF OFF JAYLEN BROWN. BOBBY MARX, ESPN NBA FRONT OFFICE INSIDER AND NBA TODAY. FREE AGENCY, SPECIAL, IT’S 3 HOURS. STARTING AT CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND OR TRANSLATE. WHAT RICH PAUL WAS SAYING TO US. AND I GUESS THE LAKERS ABOUT LEBRON ALMOST BEGRUDGINGLY OPTING IN, BUT HEY, REMEMBER. IT’S ABOUT WINNING NOW, NOT THE FUTURE. WELL, WHEN I SAW THAT DAN, I HAD TO SEND IT TO MY WIFE THAT I SAID, CAN YOU INTERPRET THIS FOR ME? BECAUSE I DON’T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ON HERE. IT’S, IT’S INTERESTING. IT’S LIKE, WELL, WE WE’RE GONNA OPT INTO 53 MILLION BUT WE WANT THE ROSTER TO BE BETTER, UM, AND I WANT TO WIN, IT HAS TO BE A CHAMPIONSHIP ROSTER. WELL, IF YOU WANTED TO DO THAT, WHY DON’T YOU JUST DECLINE YOUR TEAMS? I MEAN THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ESSENTIALLY THE THE EASIEST THING TO DO HERE. UH NOW HE’S OPTED IN UM THEY’RE LISTEN THERE. THERE’S AN INCOMPLETE FOR THE LAKERS AS FAR AS THEIR OFFSEASON SO FAR. I MEAN, THEY WENT OUT AND GOT JAKE LARAVIA, BUT THEY’VE GOT. WE’VE BEEN TALKING SINCE FEBRUARY ABOUT GETTING THE CENTER. I MEAN THEY NEED TO GET A CENTER AND THERE’S NO MARKET FOR THEM OUTSIDE OF 8 AND RIGHT NOW AND I I’M IT’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING. THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE OR THE IMPACT. UM, IF THEY DON’T MAKE SIGNIFICANT, UM, IMPROVEMENTS HERE BECAUSE YOU’VE GOT LUCA ON 1 END WHO’S YOUR FUTURE AND THEN YOU HAVE LEBRON HERE ON YOUR ON THE LAST YEAR OF A CONTRACT HERE. YOU’RE 2 DIFFERENT TIMELINES. YEAH, I’M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND AND THEY LOSE DORIAN FINNY SMITH TO THE ROCKETS UM AND I START TO WONDER OKAY THEY’RE GOING TO BRING BACK AUSTIN REEVES. YOU THINK HE TURNED DOWN UH, THAT THAT EXTENSION BUT THEY’RE GOING TO BRING HIM BACK. I’M GUESSING BUT I JUST WONDER WHAT EXACTLY IS LEBRON SAYING AND I AGREE WITH YOU, I SAID THE SAME THING. IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT, WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN LA, THEN GO TO CLEVELAND AND WIN ANOTHER TITLE THERE. IF, IF THAT IF YOU’RE NOT HAPPY WITH THIS, YOU’RE NOT PART OF THE FUTURE. THEN YOU CAN WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP IN CLEVELAND WITH THE EAST WIDE OPEN. YEAH, I MEAN I I THINK IT WOULD HAVE WORKED MAYBE 5 YEARS AGO, I MEAN, BUT NOW AS I WHERE THE LAKERS ARE WHEN YOU WENT OUT AND GET A YOU ACQUIRE, LUCA, LIKE HE’S THE FACE OF THE FRANCHISE LIKE HE’S THE FACE OF THE FRANCHISE, THEY’RE NOT GOING TO GO OUT AND MAKE A SHORT-TERM MOVE TO SATISFY LEBRON. LIKE THEY’RE NOT GOING OUT AND AND GIVING UP ALL THEIR DRAFT EQUITY FOR A SHORT SHORT-TERM MOVE FOR A PLAYER. THAT LIKELY WON’T BE ON THEIR ROSTER NEXT, BUT AREN’T THE LAKERS TRYING TO WIN NOW BOBBY. WELL, THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE NEEDLE. LIKE YOU’RE TRYING TO THREAD THE NEEDLE OF WINNING. NOW, SAVING YOUR FLEXIBILITY FOR NEXT YEAR. UM, THAT IS IT’S HARD TO DO IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE TRYING TO DO THAT. THE WESTERN CONFERENCE WE YESTERDAY. DALLAS GOT BETTER BECAUSE THEY GOT D’ANGELO RUSSELL AS A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT. FOR KYRIE. OF COURSE COOPER FLY YOU GO THROUGH THE LIST DENVER CAM JOHNSON. UM HOUSTON, OF COURSE, AS FAR AS WHERE THEY’RE OKC, BRINGS BACK EVERYTHING. LIKE IF YOU TELL ME RIGHT NOW, IS THE LAKERS A TOP 5 OR 16 IN THE IN THE WHAT? I DON’T THINK THEY ARE AND WE HAD THIS DEBATE THIS MORNING, I WOULD SAY THE DALLAS M AND NICO HARRISON GOT CRITICIZED. HE GOT CRUCIFIED RIGHT LIKE AND AND THAT’S RIGHTFULLY. SO BASED ON THE TRADE AND WHAT HAPPENED BUT YOU COULD MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT DALLAS IS IN A BETTER POSITION RIGHT NOW THAN THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS AS FAR AS WHERE THEY ARE AND I KNOW THEY GOT LUCKY WITH COOPER FLAGG BUT WITH COOPER FLAGG. AND IF THEY GET KYRIE BACK IN THE DEBT, THEY HAVE WITH OF COURSE, IF THEY STAY HEALTHY THAT THEY’RE IN A, THEY’RE IN A BETTER POSITION. I DON’T WANT TO HEAR NICO HARRISON TELL ME ABOUT THE VISION THAT HE HAD BECAUSE THE VISION WAS. HEY, I TRADED AWAY. LUCA PEOPLE HATED ME. WE HAD INJURIES IF WE WIN 1 MORE GAME. WE’RE NOT EVEN IN THE LOTTERY. YEAH, THERE’S NO VISION HERE, HE LUCKED INTO COOPER FLAGG. THAT’S ALL WE NEEDED TO SAY. HEY, I STILL BELIEVE IN DEFENSE WHEN WE’RE HEALTHY. WE’RE GOING TO BE VERY COMPETITIVE. WE LUCKED INTO THE LOTTERY AND I GOT COOPER FLIGHT. THAT’S IT BUT DON’T TELL ME HEY YOU SEE THE VISION THAT I HAD? WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT VISION? YOU KNOW IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REFRESHING IF YOU JUST WENT UP THERE AND GOES MAN WE GOT LUCKY. YEAH I MEAN LIKE HUMANIZING LIKE HUMANIZE IT RIGHT? WE WOULD ALL BEEN LIKE YEAH YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID GET LUCKY? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OUT OF COOPER? FLAGG FIRST YEAR? OH MAN, I TELL YOU I I PROBABLY TOLD THIS STORY TOO MANY TIMES, BUT I MEAN, I LIVE IN OUT IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA AND I SAW COOPER PLAY WHEN HE WAS AT MONT VERDE. AT THE CITY OF PALMS CLASSIC IN FORT MEYERS. THIS IS WHEN COOPER WAS 16. THIS WAS THE SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THIS IS WITH DEREK QUEEN AND LEE MCNEEL AND ACE AND NEWELL SITTING WITH A SCOUT AND I SAID THAT A SCOUT I GO I’M NOT, I’M NOT MAKING THIS UP. I GO HE COULD PLAY IN THE NBA RIGHT NOW. 16, THE BEAUTY OF COOPER FLAG IS NOT HIM SCORING 2223. UM, POINTS A GAME, THE BEAUTY OF COOPER FLAG IS DEFENSE. AS FAR AS HIS LENGTH, HIS IQ, UM, THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO KEEP HIM IN IN THESE GAMES THINK HE’S HE’S ALL BUSINESS. UH, I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SIT DOWN WITH THEM A HIGH LEVEL, BUT I LOVE, I LOVE THE FACT THAT HE CAN COME IN RIGHT NOW AND MAKE AN IMPACT DEFENSIVELY. BUT I ALSO WONDER, HOW DO YOU EASE HIM IN TO A LINEUP? THAT’S YOU START HIM, THEN YOU HAVE PJ WASHINGTON, COME OFF. THAT’S THE THAT’S THE THE THE THE THING WITH DALLAS THEY GOT SO MUCH DEPTH. THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT BE PJ, WASHINGTON OR NAJI, MARSHALL OR CALEB. MARTIN, I MEAN YOU GO KYRIE CLAY COOPER, A DEREK LIVELY, DANIEL GAFFORD. I MEAN, THAT’S KIND OF WHAT YOU’RE YOU’RE LOOKING AT HERE, BUT I I DO THINK YOU I DO THINK. I MEAN JASON’S TALKING ABOUT MY KID IS TALKING ABOUT PLAYING MY POINT A LITTLE BIT HERE TOO, WHICH IS GOING TO BE INTERESTING HERE. BUT I I I DO THINK YOU KIND OF I, FIRE. YEAH, I DON’T KNOW, MAYBE I’D HAVE HIM COME IN OFF THE BENCH. HE’S PLAYING AGAINST THEIR SECOND UNIT. UM, BUT THEN YOU DO KIND OF WANT HIM SURROUNDED A LITTLE BIT THERE. I MEAN, HE’S HE’S REALLY GOT THE LUXURY OF UM, HE CAN DEFER AND NOBODY’S GOING TO COMPLAIN IF HE DEFERS WHETHER IF HE WENT TO BROOKLYN. I MEAN ALL EYES WOULD BE ON HIM. LIKE ALL RIGHT, LET ME SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH DALLAS. HE CAN ATTEMPT TO BLEND IN A LITTLE BIT THERE. YEAH, IT’S ALMOST LIKE A QUARTERBACK GETTING DRAFTED WITH THE FIRST PICK, AND LIKE BASICALLY THROWING HIM INTO LIKE ON AN EXPANSION TEAM. LIKE WE SAW. I THINK, UM, DEREK CARR RIGHT WITH THE TEXANS AND YOU KNOW WE’RE COOPER HE’S NOT GOING TO UTAH OR WASHINGTON OR BROOKLYN 1 OF THESE TEAMS THAT 3 BUILDING, YOU YOU BASICALLY VETERANS AROUND THEM THAT YOU CAN, HE’S EVEN MORE INTO THE SITUATION. ANY BIG MOVES, HAVE ALL KAMINGA JOSH, GIDDEY THERE’S A GROUP OF THE PROBLEM IS, UM, THERE’S NO MONEY OUT THERE IN FREE AGENCY FOR A TEAM TO COME IN AND GIVE AN OFFER SHEET HERE. UM, YOU KNOW, WE’LL, WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON THE, ON THE TRADE, FRONT FREE AGENCY. WE, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A LOT COME OFF THE BOARD UM ON MONDAY HERE HOW LIKE WE MIGHT BE DONE BY THE END OF THE WEEK, FREE AGENCY WISE. IT’S IT’S THE THE DOWNSIDE OF THE ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE WITH YOUR OWN ENDS. IF YOU WERE GOING TO, LET’S SAY 1 OF YOUR CHILDREN, YOU’RE GOING TO SHOW AND TELL BRINGING IN MY DAD. HE’S GOING TO EXPLAIN THE NBA APRONS SO IT’S CAREER DAY BUT YOU WERE GOING TO EXPLAIN IT TO LET’S SAY FIFTH GRADERS. YEAH. TREAT ME LIKE A FIFTH GRADER AND MY AUDIENCE AND EXPLAIN THE FAMOUS NBA APRONS, THAT SECOND APRON HERE. YEAH, I KNOW, I WISH WE WOULD COME UP WITH A DIFFERENT NAME, RIGHT? UM, IT’S A UM, IT’S A PUNITIVE RESTRICTION. THAT ONCE YOU EXCEED IT OKAY, ONCE YOU EXCEED THIS LEVEL, YOU’RE ALL RIGHT, LET’S LET’S ALL RIGHT. I’M GOING TO TALK LIKE LIKE A FIFTH GRADER. YOU HAVE A, YOU HAVE A TOY BOX OF TOYS, OKAY, YOU HAVE 20 TO 20 OF YOUR BEST TOYS, OKAY. ONCE YOU EXCEED THIS RESTRICTION, THIS LEVEL I’M GOING TO GO IN THE TOY BOX THEN AND I’M GOING TO TAKE 15 OUT OF THOSE TOYS AWAY, BUT I’M STILL GOING TO GIVE YOU 5 OF YOUR BEST TOYS, OKAY? BUT I’M TAKING THOSE OTHER 15 AWAY HERE. NOW, YOU HAVE LESS TOYS TO PLAY WITH. BUT THEY’RE STILL PRETTY GOOD, BUT YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO ADD ANY MORE TOYS TO THAT HERE AND THAT’S WHAT THE LEAGUE IS SAYING. WE’RE GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO KEEP THE YOUR BEST, BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO GO TO GOLDEN STATE OR TO CLIPPERS AND GRAB THEIR BEST PLAYER. AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT MAKES YOU IT MAKES YOU PRIORITIZE KEEPING YOUR OWN PLAYERS. UM, IF YOU DON’T LIKE UH, PHOENIX, WHO’S BEEN A SECOND APRON TEAM AND, UH, HAD 3, HIGH LEVEL PLAYERS AND THEY DON’T HAVE, THEY HAVE 3 SHINY TOYS, BUT NOT REALLY ANYTHING ELSE. GOOD TO THAT ROSTER, IT REALLY HURTS. YOU LIKE, OKLAHOMA CITY’S IS GOING TO BE IF THEY’RE A TEAM THAT CAN DEFEAT THE SECOND APRON AS WE CALL IT, THEY’RE THE ONES THAT CAN DO IT BECAUSE OF SHEA SHET JAYLEN, WILLIAMS 4 FIRST, ROUND PICKS NEXT YEAR.
