He was rumored to join the Lakers, Pelinka didn't sign him, and now disrespects LA

After the weak start for the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2022-23 season, the roster wasn't strong enough with 3-point shooting and size problems. But two names were linked to the LA franchise that the fans wanted to be signed by GM Rob Pelinka, the Pacers stars Myles Turner and Buddy Hield.

But the Lakers didn't want to make a trade for them by quitting their two coveted first-round picks plus the PG Russell Westbrook. Still, all the season, the two Pacers stars were rumored, even when this offseason started.

Myles Turner was still linked to the Lakers and many reports had the Lakers front office making a trade in the 2023 NBA Draft for the big player, but nothing happened and LA decided to keep their two draft selections.

Turner revealed last season that he was willing to become a Laker, but now has shown disrespect to the team as he doesn't believe the LA Lakers is the "America's Team." With information per Tidal League, Myles Turner says the Knicks are 'America's Team.' "It's gotta be the Knicks bro, you can't name another franchise."

Myles Turner could be hurt with the Lakes not signing him

After the fans decided to go in another direction and GM Rob Pelinka pulled off some great off-season signings, the fans stopped wanting Myles Turner to be signed for LA. These recent comments could show the player to be hurt by not being picked up by the purple and gold.
