Recently, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle talked about Miles Turner's departure in a show.

Carlisle said: "Turner's departure was a big loss for us. He was a great player and had a great season. We talked to Turner's agent about returning to the team, but suddenly the Bucks decided to quit Lillard - they cut him with extended terms within the rules and created the cap space to sign Turner."

Carlisle continued: "We think this is the thing: the Bucks suddenly jumped out and gave no room to think. They would say: This is our contract, much better than you are now. But if we want to agree, we need to know your wish immediately, not wait for a price. We believe that's what they do. This is what it can happen in any sports negotiations, and this happens from time to time."
