Carlisle: Losing Turner is a big loss for us. This happened a little suddenly

Recently, Pacers coach Carlisle talked about Turner joining the Bucks in the show "Green Light with Chris Long".

Carlisle said: "Losing Turner is a big loss for our team. This guy has been a great player and he has played very well this season. To be honest, we were talking to his agent about the possibility of returning."

Then Carlisle said: "But it was a bit sudden. The Bucks decided to sack Damian Lillard and amortize his contract for several years by the rules. In this way, they freed up their capacities to sign Turner. I guess that's the case. It's common in any sports league negotiation: a team will say, 'Hey, we have such a offer, how many years it's worth, but if we give this offer, we have to make sure you'll accept it, rather than shop around it.' I believe this is probably the case with the Bucks. It's a clear number, a clear period. They took action quickly, and we didn't even have the chance to bargain. This kind of thing does happen, and when it happens, you can only keep going."

According to American Jake Weinbach reported that Turner's contract with the Bucks is worth $108.8 million in four years.
