Tyrese Haliburton Speaks on Myles Turner’s Stunning Exit to Bucks
So, the NBA world just got rocked again—and this time, it’s coming straight out of Indiana. If you’re a Pacers fan or just someone who follows the league closely, you already know the name: Myles Turner . A decade with the Indiana Pacers, loyal through thick and thin, and a huge piece in their deep playoff run this past season. But now? Turner is officially a Milwaukee Buck, signing a four-year, $108.9 million deal.
Yeah, let that sink in.

It’s not just the fans who are processing the shock— Tyrese Haliburton , the face of the Pacers and their two-time All-NBA point guard, finally spoke out. And while he kept things classy, you could feel the weight in his words. Haliburton said, “I think that people have really taken a liking to Myles… he’s done some great things, been a part of some great groups. But at the end of the day, it is a business.” You can tell this wasn’t just another roster move—it hit deeper.
And who could blame him? Turner wasn’t just another player. He was the team’s anchor, a stretch-big who just dominated Brook Lopez in the playoffs. It wasn’t even close. Then suddenly, Milwaukee—Indiana’s division rival , no less—makes room by waiving Damian Lillard and snatches Turner up. It’s the kind of move that changes power dynamics in the East.
From what’s being said, it seems like the Pacers may have mishandled things behind the scenes—maybe they weren’t willing to pay, or maybe they asked him to test the market and circle back. Either way, Turner chose a rival, and Haliburton is now looking at a whole new landscape in Indy.
To add another twist, Haliburton himself is sidelined for the season after tearing his Achilles in that dramatic Game 7 of the Finals. So now, he’s watching this team try to rebuild around players like Isaiah Jackson, James Wiseman, and Jay Huff—names with potential, sure, but not exactly Turner-level impact.
Still, Haliburton’s mindset? Stay focused. “My focus is now on the guys that we have here,” he said, showing the kind of leadership that makes you believe in what’s ahead—even if the path just got a whole lot tougher.
Man, this offseason just keeps delivering.
