Indiana Pacers

If the Los Angeles Lakers go the route of trying to acquire a center, they could call the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers are considering moving center Myles Turner this offseason and the Lakers would be smart to get in on the trade talks.

Acquiring Turner would give the Lakers two versatile big men. While other teams are going small, the Lakers would stick with the jumbo frontcourt that helped them win an NBA title in the Orlando Bubble. Turner and Anthony Davis would have no problems playing alongside each other.

Both are menaces defensively, as they can switch on the perimeter or protect the rim. Turner is arguably the best rim protector in the NBA, leading the league with 3.4 blocks per game this season and 2.7 per game during the 2018-19 season.

Offensively, Turner’s ability to spread the court would help open things up for the Lakers, who struggled shooting 3-pointers last season.

Kyle Kuzma would find a spot in the Pacers’ rotation as their go-to scorer on the wing. He would give the team some insurance in case Doug McDermott leaves in free agency or T.J. Warren is unable to return to form.
