Golden State Warriors Receive: F TJ Warren, C Myles Turner
Indiana Pacers Receive: F Andrew Wiggins, C James Wiseman, F Eric Paschall, MIN 2021 1st Round Pick (Pick #7), GSW 2021 1st Round Pick (Pick #14)
They may have to offer up more assets to make this trade possible, but bringing in T.J. Warren and Myles Turner could be a fantastic move this offseason for the Warriors if they were to leverage Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman and both of their lottery picks.
Warren only played in 4 games this past season before suffering a season-ending foot injury and Myles Turner only played in 47 games due to injuries, but both guys are exactly the kinds of players the Warriors need to contend for a title next season. Warren stepped up into a much larger role in the NBA Bubble last year and Turner is the epitome of what Golden State needs in a big guy.
Getting T.J. Warren is a big ask for the Warriors, but Myles Turner is a guy who could be very available in trade talks. For over the last year now, Indiana has been rumored to be listening to offers for the shot-blocking big man and recently, NBA Analysis Network’s own Evan Massey reported that the Pacers and Warriors have been discussing a possible trade involving the 7th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
Could this potential trade that these two teams have been discussing be revolving around Myles Turner? It is very likely that the big man has come up in trade talks between the Warriors and Pacers, especially since he would be a great option for them at the center position should they look to move James Wiseman.

Ever since he came into the league in 2015, Myles Turner has been one of the premier shot-blockers, which is why he could be useful for the Warriors. Golden State has never really had a true, reliable center over the years and given how great Draymond Green is on the defensive-end of the court, they could create a powerful defensive frontcourt with the addition of Turner.
Again, including T.J. Warren with Myles Turner in a possible trade package to the Warriors would be tough to convince the Pacers to do, but both of their salaries would match up perfectly with that of Andrew Wiggins and James Wiseman, which is why there could be something to be had here for Golden State.

Nonetheless, Myles Turner is the main focal point for the Warriors in regards to the Indiana Pacers and he should absolutely be a target of theirs if the Pacers are willing to discuss trade packages for their center.
