One Pacers insider gives a case for them to trade Turner at next week's trade deadline. Dustin Dopirak of the IndyStar believes that a cap crunch is the best reason for them to deal him.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner has emerged as one of the NBA's most appealing role players. Turner has long been one of the league's best shot blockers. He's a solid rim protector and finisher, but also a high-level 3-point shooter.

The friction between the Pacers and Pistons mostly comes from their rise out of rebuilds, but both sides said lines were crossed Wednesday.

The Pistons forward was ejected from Detroit’s game against Indianapolis on Wednesday night for shoving the Pacers’ Thomas Bryant. With eight minutes left in the second quarter, the Pacers’ Aaron Nesmith took a baseline jumper that missed. As the ball hit the rim, Stewart turned and shoved Thomas near the hoop, knocking him over.
