Then there was the whole Gordon Hayward debacle where it was Boston turning the Pacers down in a deal centered around Turner.There is also the THJ/Carlisle connection. On a young rebuilding team, it's possible THJ could have more contextual value as a high-character guy who has a good relationship with the coach.
I think the actual value of Turner is MUCH lower than what we all think. For as much as we all like him, he's still a center that has been dealing with injuries. Pacers have always shopped him too.
The same reason why you're concerned giving him 20+mil is the same reason why I wouldn't be surprised if he went for just a non-lotto first and salary matching.
