Caris LeVert
Caris LeVert is on the trade block already, but if Myles Turner is out indefinitely, then LeVert’s value will increase exponentially. Averaging 17.8 points and shooting 43.5% from the floor this season, LeVert is a wing scorer that can create opportunities for himself off-the-dribble.
He is not much of a three-point shooter, but LeVert could make a huge difference for a playoff hopeful like the Atlanta Hawks, who do not have much scoring depth next to Trae Young on the wing right now.
After trading Cam Reddish to the Knicks, the Hawks seem like they are on the verge of making a big move and quite honestly, they need to make a big move seeing as they are just 17-25 on the season.

Atlanta turned things on during the second-half of last season en route to the Eastern Conference Finals, so maybe trading for Caris LeVert, another reliable scoring weapon, could give them this same kind of “jolt” to make a late season playoff push.
Having another creator off the bench to help lift the Hawks’ units that do not include Trae Young would be a helpful result of acquiring a player like Caris LeVert, if it were to pan out.
