FC Myles Turner
In a deal that sent GM Willyjakkz favorite F Robert Covington, the 2027 NYK 1st Rd Pick, and others to the Portland Trailblazers by way of the Sacramento Kings, the Orlando Magic acquire FC Myles Turner to bolster their lineup.
"The move was made primarily because we've had an eye on Turner who wasn't receiving playing time with the Kings. We feel he will be a very good asset moving forward in some capacity with his on the court performance here where he'll be sharing minutes with Festus Ezeli and Kristaps Porzingis", stated GM Willyjakkz.
He went on to say, "Ideally Myles will come in and provide a burst off the bench in offensive and defensive impact but it's more than likely he will have a starting role if that's what Van Gundy sees as a fit."
Turner who has had a minor role with the Kings after playing a more major role in Brooklyn seems to be excited about the chance to display his ability. "I come here with the expectation of being more pivotal and used much more than at my previous teams where there just wasn't anymore room for me. I'm excited to be given another opportunity to show I can still be a real player in this League and Orlando saw that in me and gave me another chance."
Although Turner was highly discussed in trade talks that would've sent him to another team and not Orlando, those deals never materialized into anything substantial although close.
Turner replied, "Well we'll just have to see what happens. I know it's a business and I'll be a Free Agent but right now I can't worry about that. I'm here with Milos who's a top assist guy and KP who is a nightmare to guard so hopefully I can take some pressure off those guys and bring some more Wins to the table."
Turner who is 28 years old and is in the final year of his contract will get to show if it's his Turn.
