Charlotte Hornets Receive: C Myles Turner
Indiana Pacers Receive: F/C PJ Washington and No. 11 pick
In this particular NBA trade scenario, Myles Turner would give the Charlotte Hornets that impact big man down low that they have been missing. He is under a relatively team-friendly contract given the player he is.
League sources have told NBA Analysis Network that numerous members of the Hornets’ front office are not sold on Washington after his development has slowed. This offseason could be an opportune time to move on from him in a trade to shuffle the supporting cast around LaMelo Ball.
In exchange for parting with Turner, the Indiana Pacers would receive PJ Washington as a replacement in the frontcourt. He is not the caliber of player that Turner is but he can provide some strong contributions.
The Pacers would also add the No. 11 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. This would give them two in the lottery and that’s quite intriguing for a team who rarely makes selections of that kind.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this NBA trade scenario centered around Myles Turner would impact both the Charlotte Hornets and Indiana Pacers.
