When Indiana Pacers GM Chad Buchanan said last September that Myles Turner will be with the team on opening night, he certainly didn’t expect that the big man will just be watching from the bench. Unfortunately, that is exactly the case after the team ruled out the big man due to injury. UPDATE: Myles Turner’s […]

Here we will discuss four bold predictions for the Indiana Pacers in the 2022-23 NBA season. It’s a […]

The Indiana Pacers are in the midst of a rebuild as the 2022-23 NBA preseason begins. The Pacers have a young roster and are likely to be one of the bottom teams in the Eastern Conference.

The Lakers would acquire Myles Turner and Buddy Hield while sending Westbrook and two future draft picks to Indiana, according to […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have pursued the services of Myles Turner and Buddy Hield all offseason long. However, the Lakers have been understandably stingy with their 2027 and 2029 unprotected first round draft picks, preventing a deal between the Lakers and the Indiana Pacers from materializing. But rumor has it that the Lakers could acquire […]

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner is only 26 years old, and yet it seems as if he has been in the league far longer than reality.

Ben […]

The Indiana Pacers had a perplexing offseason. They unexpectedly gave Deandre Ayton an offer sheet, but that didn’t pan out. It was disappointing since an Ayton and Tyrese Haliburton pick-and-roll combo would have looked pretty exciting. To compound things, they also offloaded Malcolm Brogdon to the Boston Celtics. Despite those things, the Pacers have a […]

Myles Turner is no stranger to trade rumors. Over the past few seasons, he’s been linked to a number of different teams. However, he has yet to be traded. He even said that he’s become numb to the trade stirrings. Turner could still be dealt ahead of the 2022-2023 NBA season, but it appears as […]

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner has been mentioned in trade rumors as of late, with the Los Angeles Lakers said to be interested in him and Buddy Hield.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked with the Indiana Pacers for a potential deal for Buddy Hield and Myles Turner.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been rumored to trade Russell Westbrook since the beginning of the offseason. However, the front office hasn’t had much luck in finding a trade partner.

There were stirrings of a potential deal in the works with the Indiana Pacers. But according to The Athletic’s Bob Kravitz, the […]

The Indiana Pacers were close to snatching Deandre Ayton away from the Phoenix Suns.

The Pacers could have tried to work […]

With Deandre Ayton likely on his way to Indiana, current Pacers center Myles Turner may soon need a new home. It’s recently been reported that Ayton intends to sign an offer sheet from the Pacers for 4 years and $133 million. The offer sheet is the largest in league history; and with Ayton being a […]

The Indiana Pacers have had a busy offseason so far. They grabbed some nice assets in the 2022 NBA Draft, most notably sixth overall pick Bennedict Mathurin.

Just two seasons removed from being a top-four team in the Eastern Conference, the Indiana Pacers are all but revving up for a total rebuild.

The Indiana Pacers cleaned house at the trade deadline last season and made some notable changes to their roster.

The Milwaukee Bucks have the 24th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Although the opportunity to add a key piece for the future seems enticing, the best use of the pick is to trade it for a player that is experienced and ready to help right away. Finding a trade the Bucks can use […]

The Chicago Bulls got back to the NBA playoffs in the 2021-22 season but didn’t last long. They got eliminated in five games at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks.
