Turner underlined the “alignment problems” between him and the Pacers when he explained the reason why he decided to leave the only NBA franchise for which he had ever played.
“There were alignment problems, I think, on this side, you know, as regards me and them,” said Turner. “Just out of respect for their organization, out of respect for this organization, I will not talk about it too much. But, you know, once again, it was the best decision for me to go ahead and the best fit.”
Turner admitted that it was not easy for him to get rid of the team that selected him in the first round of the NBA 2015 NBA.
“There have been a lot of decisions that entered it. It was not easy,” said Turner. “I spent 10 years of my life in one place. I was a teenager when I arrived on the Indy market, and when I sat down and I started to assess things and to see where I was in my career, to see where I was in my life and what I wanted for myself, I just saw what the Bucks put together.
“And I was enthusiastic about the opportunity. I had great conversations with doc [Rivers] and Jon [Horst]And obviously my agent too, and my family. And I think we decided everything, and, in the end, I decided that this is where I should be. “”
