Joe Harris – Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets fell short of winning a championship this year, losing in the Eastern Conference Semifinals to the Milwaukee Bucks. A large part of this was because of injuries to Kyrie Irving and James Harden, but Joe Harris did not play well at all, which has left many speculating about his future in Brooklyn.
The Nets are going to be looking for ways to add talent around their “Big 3” in the offseason and while they do not have a ton of cap space, they could potentially pull off a trade to add Myles Turner to their roster, giving them a much needed defensive-minded center.
On Indiana’s side of things, if they were to trade Myles Turner to the Nets, they would be helping one of the most loaded rosters in the league even more, but they could gain a significant amount of value on their own.
Brooklyn does have some first-round picks they could offer up and they also could potentially offer up Joe Harris, who led the league in three-point shooting percentage this season. The Pacers were not bad shooting from deep, shooting about 36.4% as a team from beyond-the-arc during the regular season, but that only ranked them 17th in the league.

With Doug McDermott, one of their best three-point shooters, set to become a free agent, Indiana will need to add some perimeter-oriented threats to their roster, which is where Joe Harris could come in handy for them.
His contract is fairly equal to that of Myles Turner and he fits an immediate need on the wing in terms of perimeter shooting for the Pacers, so a Turner for Joe Harris swap is definitely something that could make sense for both the Nets and Pacers this offseason.
