Washington Wizards: Myles Turner
The Washington Wizards have to do everything in their power to convince Bradley Beal that they are doing enough to compete for a title. With Beal and Russell Westbrook returning on paper as of now, the Wizards have a few glaring needs. One of those needs is at the center position, which makes Myles Turner an ideal trade target for them.
Entering the offseason, both Alex Len and Robin Lopez are free agents. Getting Turner would create more spacing for the offense and drastically improve their defense. Turner would join the starting lineup and his addition would allow Daniel Gafford to operate as a spark plug off Washington’s bench.
Memphis Grizzlies: Buddy Hield
The Memphis Grizzlies showed that they are moving in the right direction, led by a core of Ja Morant, Dillon Brooks, and Jaren Jackson Jr. Despite the team’s run to the playoffs, it’s clear that the Grizzlies need more shooting on the roster. Making a trade to address this need would be more helpful than making a selection in the NBA Draft.

Both Desmond Bane and Grayson Allen showed flashes at the shooting guard position this season. However, getting Buddy Hield would solve Memphis’ shooting guard problem instantly. Hield is one of the best three-point shooters in the NBA, giving Morant more room to operate on the floor.
New York Knicks: Myles Turner
You can definitely make the argument that the biggest need on the New York Knicks is at point guard. Luckily for them, there a handful of guys available in free agency and via trade this offseason. Besides the point guard position, getting a reliable center could be exactly what the Knicks need.
Myles Turner could be on New York’s radar, especially with the team needing to make a decision on Mitchell Robinson’s future. An offseason where the Knicks get Turner and sign a point guard in free agency would be a massive success.
