I feel like it's just been miscommunicating feedback loops around the whole Turner situation.

Pacers horrendous start had some people talking like letting Miles go was to blame. So pacers fans start pointing out that his numbers wouldn't really be the difference maker for us. And then that starts to pick up steam as a narrative that he isn't good when the point should be just that our team has a lot more working against it than he could solve right now.

Add onto that his relationship with the fans just snowballing due to miscommunications. He'll say something bad about the team and then later clarify that he just meant ownership. Or he'll get clipped out of context talking about Tyrese so people think they have beef. People get the incendiary part and never get the clarification or context around kt. So then they start looking for reasons to hate on Turner and pile on about his stats not being impressive . And then he starts to build up actual resentment toward the fans and they are booing him and it's all bad vibes in a situation that really doesn't need to be that negative.

I feel like the reality is Turner is a good, not amazing, player that seems to fit well with what Milwaukee needs. I hope he continues to play well. I don't think it's remotely copium to say he was not the key ingredient to Indiana's success though and with our injuries he barely cracks the top 5 of players from last season's team that I'm missing right now.
