Charlotte Hornets Receive: C Myles Turner

Indiana Pacers Receive: F P.J. Washington, C Mason Plumlee, 2027 First-Round Pick

Myles Turner has been in and out of trade talks for quite sometime now. Nothing has happened just yet but we are getting down to the wire.

The foot injury has raised the level of uncertainty surrounding Turner’s chances of actually being moved at the deadline. Some teams reportedly have been deterred from pursuing him as a result, but It makes too much sense for the Hornets to go after Turner.

This would take the Hornets to the next level on both ends of the floor. Turner would be the lone player going back to Charlotte as the Indiana Pacers clean house.

Charlotte has plenty of assets they would be able to move. It begins with P.J. Washington and Mason Plumlee. Washington has emerged as a strong option but Turner is the elite one that the team needs.
