Many and Myles Turner himself believe that he has just been misunderstood by the fans where he didn’t really meant what he said. As Taylor Tannebaum who quoted: “Y’all. Y’all. Listen, if this upsets you then you simply haven’t been paying attention to Myles Turner for like…years. 1. He speaks sarcasm. He will always troll back. 2. What athlete do you know what would say “I love being on a failing team!”. Zero I’d presume.” in a tweet on Twitter which got retweeted by Myles Turner as he totally agreed with her and said: “Thank You Taylor! Sheesh! I promise it’s not that deep! Y’all are reaching this fine evening 😮‍💨.”

Further, Myles also explained this tweet of his, so none misunderstands what he has quoted. Intellectually with a bit of sarcasm explaining what he meant he said not that deep means not that serious and reaching means trying to make something out of nothing. Myles shut downed all the misunderstanding just with a tweet and now even fans agree with him as he has always been that funny guy.

The Indiana Pacers have already moved Caris Levert to Cleveland Cavaliers and now look forward to utilizing Myles Turner in a trade to help them rebuild. With the deadline nearing and the front desk being on and hot we may soon find Turner shipped across the league.
