Charlotte Hornets Receive: Myles Turner, Edmond Sumner
Indiana Pacers Receive: PJ Washington, Cody Zeller, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2023 1st Round Pick (Lottery Protected)
Myles Turner would be a perfect fit for a team like the Charlotte Hornets. They need that big threat down low and Turner is just that. He leads the league averaging 3.4 blocks per game and has taken his offensive game to the next level.
The Hornets have some assets they would be able to send back if this deal gets done. It would be their way of pushing some of their chips into the center of the table in order to maximize their ability to pull off a successful run in the playoffs and to build long-term.
