American News: The Hawks are interested in signing Turner, but it is difficult. The latter s annual salary is estimated to be around 30 million.

June 10th News Today's American Journalist Grant Afseth wrote an article saying that the Eagles are paying close attention to Turner's situation, and the following is some of the content.

Because Hawks veteran center Capela and Nance Jr. will both become full free agents this summer. Although Daniels, the second-placed defensive player of the year, performed well on the outside, the Hawks ranked only 18th in defensive efficiency in the 2024-25 season. The team also ranked 18th in three-point shooting percentage. Turner, as a big man who can open up the space (39.6% from three-point shooting in 2024-25) and protects the basket (2.0 blocks per game), will become an important asset on both ends.

However, if the Pacers are determined to keep Turner and he himself is unwilling to leave, then the possibility of him joining the Hawks is slim. The Eagles don’t have enough cap space this summer, and unless a major cost cut is made, they need the Pacers’ cooperation to get Turner by signing and then switching, which seems unlikely. Since the Pacers have Bird rights to Turner, they can offer the highest salary when paying the associated luxury tax.

In addition to the Hawks Pistons, it is reported that the big man has also become interested. Currently, Turner is competing for the Pacers for the championship and will be a full free agent this summer. Reports in recent weeks have repeatedly shown that the Pacers and Turner are interested in a new contract, and the Pacers are willing to pay a luxury tax to keep Turner for the first time since 2006. Jake Fischer wrote on Monday that league executives generally believe Turner will stay with the Pacers, and salary experts expect his annual salary to be around $30 million.
