Last summer, the Indiana Pacers lost their centerpiece of the franchise as Paul George was shipped off to Oklahoma City. If you go back and look at this tweet from big man Myles Turner when George was traded you can see all sorts of comments to the effect of “the team is yours now.”
At the time, many of us assumed that Turner was going to be the one to take over the future of the team. We all know the story with Victor Oladipo taking over the city of Indianapolis and he brought his “little brother” with him in Domantas Sabonis.
