Indiana Pacers fans\u2014and even coach Rick Carlisle\u2014are reeling after longtime center Myles Turner chose to leave for Milwaukee, prompting ESPN analyst Brian Windhorst to deliver a scathing verdict on *First Take*. Windhorst didn\u2019t mince words:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

> \u201cIf I\u2019m an Indiana Pacer right now, I\u2019m absolutely disgusted, I am sick to my stomach. If I\u2019m Tyrese Haliburton, I am breaking things right now. If I\u2019m Rick Carlisle, I\u2019m furious\u2026\u201d ([si.com][1])<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Turner, a key defensive anchor and veteran presence for Indiana since 2015, inked a four\u2011year, \\$107\u202fmillion deal with the Bucks\u2014rich enough to necessitate Milwaukee waiving and stretching Damian Lillard\u2019s massive contract ([talksport.com][2]). The move allowed the Bucks to bolster their frontcourt alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, though Ma Giannis reportedly wasn\u2019t thrilled about Lillard\u2019s departure ([talksport.com][2]).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the Pacers, Turner\u2019s departure stings doubly: he walked away for nothing\u2014Indiana couldn\u2019t or wouldn\u2019t exceed the luxury tax threshold, having reportedly capped their final offer at around \\$20\u202fmillion per year, far below what Turner ultimately secured ([ipacers.com][3]). This, on the heels of their heartbreaking Finals loss and Tyrese Haliburton\u2019s Achilles injury, leaves the team glaringly thin at center.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In short: called \u201cabsolutely disgusted\u201d by insiders, the Pacers now face brutal criticism and tough decisions as they scramble to rebuild around a decimated core.<\/p>\n
