The Indiana Pacers have already shown their cards early about Turner’s future with the franchise. Money could end up being a long-term problem for them, but the Pacers are not prepared to see Turner walk in free agency, sources said. Indiana made it clear to inquiring teams at the trade deadline that the veteran center would remain on their roster, and the Pacers could re-sign him this offseason while remaining below the luxury tax threshold. – via Clutch Points

Not sure why Miami would want him, but he'd definitely be a useful piece for the Magic...

ONE DAY AFTER the team fired Jenkins, Memphis general manager Zach Kleiman stood in front of a lectern and explained his decision to fire his head coach and two assistants so late in the season.

"Urgency is a core principle of ours," he said. "My expectations are clarity of direction."

He didn't elaborate beyond those two main points.

But anyone close to the team this season knows the lack of clarity he was referring to.

Offensively, the Grizzlies had become something of a science experiment this season, offering glimpses at how several radical offensive concepts from Europe, and spacing principles found in hockey and soccer, would work in the NBA, but also how difficult it is to get full buy-in from players to implement them.

He's 25 years old and has been he's been a Blazer for seven seasons. He has seemed to reach his ceiling unless he proves otherwise.

Being back home in Florida might be what is best for him. Maybe he requested it.

There was a rumor last year that Hawks were interested in getting Austin Reaves back for one of Atlanta's two starting guards.

Landry and company were clearly onto something. Reaves is looking like an All Star of late.
