Myles Turner Is Traded
For what seems like forever, the Indiana Pacers have contemplated breaking up their frontcourt duo of Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner. In the modern NBA, having two big men like that rarely results in winning basketball. This offseason will finally be the time that they go through with it and make a deal involving Turner.
Turner should have a healthy trade market should Indiana make him available. His ability to space the floor offensively and protect the rim defensively is matched by very few players.
Turner led the NBA with 3.4 blocks per game and altering numerous more along the way. He is a career 35.2 percent 3-point shooter, providing versatility a ton of teams would love to add to their roster.
The Charlotte Hornets, Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors are all teams that could use upgrades at the center spot this offseason. The Washington Wizards, if they can get a commitment from Bradley Beal long-term, would also make for an intriguing landing spot for Turner. If the Sacramento Kings cannot lock up Richaun Holmes, they would also require a center.

With so many teams in need of a big man, this is the time for Indiana to make a move. Moving Turner would give them a chance to further shed more salary and balance out their roster.
