Tyrese Haliburton was asked about Myles Turner's departure. Here's what he told Pat McAfee Show
Tyrese Haliburton appeared on the Pat McAfee Show on ESPN on Tuesday for his first public comments since his Achilles tendon tear in Game 7 of the NBA Finals which also meant his first comments since stalwart center Myles Turner left the Pacers to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks. Turner spent 10 years with the Pacers, playing only in Indiana since he was drafted in 2015. Haliburton and Turner developed a close and productive partnership as part of the Pacers' ball-screen actions and as part of the team's leadership as it built from a lottery team in 2022-23 to the franchise's first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years this season. Haliburton was asked about Turner's departure and was diplomatic in his response. "Since I've gotten here and for the last 10 years Myles' name has been synonymous with our organization," Haliburton said. "He's done a lot here, and I think that people have really taken a liking to Myles. He's done some great things, been a part of some great groups. At the end of the day it is a business, he's gotta do what's best for him. I wish him the best moving forward. My focus is on the guys here and getting better here, but I wish him the best moving forward." "Myles Turner did some great things NBA is a business and he's gotta do what's best for him..I wish him the best moving forward" @TyHaliburton22 #PMSLive Turner entered free agency for the first time after his most recent two-year extension expired. The Bucks surprised the NBA by waiving and stretching seven-time All-NBA guard Damian Lillard to create cap space and offered Turner a four-year, $107 million deal, which Turner took. Pacers president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard said he felt like the Pacers were working toward a deal with Turner and that they were "in the ballpark" of an offer similar to the one the Bucks gave. But he indicated the Pacers were not given an opportunity to counter Milwaukee's offer. Turner discussed his decision to sign with the Bucks in a news conference in Las Vegas during the NBA Summer League. He said the decision was "ultimately about staying competitive" and he felt like signing with the Bucks would give him a chance to return to the NBA Finals.

Chris Paul returning to Clippers for one last chance at NBA title
Chris Paul is going back to Los Angeles for his likely swan song. The 40-year-old point guard is signing with the Clippers on a one-year, $3.6 million contract, according to Chris Haynes. Paul, who recently hinted at retirement, had wanted to return to Southern California and now reunites with the team he spent six seasons with from 2011-17. The Clippers are gearing up for a run at a championship after signing Bradley Beal and trading for John Collins. Chris Paul averaged 8.8 points and 7.4 assists last year with the Spurs. NBAE via Getty Images Paul, a 12-time All-Star, is still searching for his first title. He spent last season on a one-year, $10.4 million contract with the Spurs. In San Antonio, the veteran point guard mentored a young roster that included budding superstar Victor Wembanyama, plus other young standouts in Stephon Castle and Jeremy Sochan. There, Paul proved that he remains a productive player at the age of 40, averaging 8.8 points and 7.4 assists per game. He also played – and started – in all 82 games. Paul made it clear that his free agency decision would have much to do with his proximity to his wife and kids, who live in Los Angeles. Chris Paul (3) guards Kawhi Leonard (2) during a Clippers-Spurs game in 2016. Getty Images 'It's with my family more than anything,' Paul said on the 'Pat McAfee Show' on June 5. 'I talk to my family about it. My son just turned 16, my daughter is 12. The past six seasons, I've lived without them. I've been away from them for the last six years, so it's a little different.' The 'Point God' has not played in Southern California since his stint with the Clippers, which ended in 2017. Paul's long list of career accolades also includes 11 All-NBA selections.
