On December 8, Beijing time, the Indiana Pacers are ready to rebuild, according to the famous shams, the Pacers have put Miles Turner, Sabonis Jr. and Le Vere three stars on the shelves to accept their main deal negotiations; at the same time, the Pacers announced that McConnell successfully underwent surgery, but TJ Warren applied to stay in the team.
So far this season, the Pacers are in third-to-last in the East with 10 wins and 16 losses, and with a few other factors, the Pacers decided to rebuild. Over the past few seasons, the Pacers have received a lot of offers for deals for Sam and Turner, but they haven't broken up the duo; but now, the injured Pacers don't want to survive anymore and decide to tear down and rebuild, putting Turner, Sa and Le Ver on the shelves, hoping to build a new team through trades.
Turner, 25, has played 414 games for the Pacers, and this year marks his seventh season with the Pacers, averaging 12.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game this season (no. 1 in the league) and has been in Indiana ever since.
The 25-year-old has played 298 games for the Pacers and has been playing for the Pacers since leaving the Thunder in '17, during which time he was twice named an All-Star; Sam has averaged 17.8 points, 12 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season, and he and Turner are the mainstays of the Pacers' interior. The 27-year-old was traded to the Pacers last season and has played in 18 games this season, averaging 14.9 points, 2.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game.
The trade is a way for the Pacers to rebuild quickly, while the Pacers will focus on nurturing Duarte and Isaiah Jackson, whose playing time the team will increase.
The Pacers opened, but TJ Warren applied to stay with the team, and he has made it clear to management that he wants to stay in Indiana; Warren has played an average of 19.8 points per game in the 19-20 season, but injuries have stopped him, and he has not played a game this season, and his annual salary is $12.69 million.
In addition to the decision to rebuild, the Pacers have officially announced that TJ McConnell has successfully undergone right-handed ligament repair surgery and will wear a plaster cast for 10-12 weeks, with no specific comeback timeline, with Fame Warnerowski saying McConnell will be absent for several months and possibly even the rest of the season.
