Myles Turner

Speaking of someone that would strengthen the defense of the Lakers, Myles Turner is a prime trade candidate for Los Angeles.

The writing is on the wall for Turner to be traded by the Indiana Pacers this offseason. With Davis not being a fan of playing the center position, the Lakers can pair Davis with a two-way talent in Turner to create one of the best paint-protecting duos in the entire NBA.

While Myles Turner isn’t a lights out shooter from outside (career 35.2 percent shooter from three-point range), he can still space the floor for any offense.

But with LeBron James and Antony Davis on the floor, Turner would see a ton of open shots from deep. What makes Turner such a great potential addition to Los Angeles is his shot-blocking ability and the fact that he’s still only 25-years-old.

Besides adding a new point guard, the Lakers could upgrade at the center position by getting Myles Turner in hopes it would make them the favorites in the West.
