It is getting late early for the Indiana Pacers if they want to make some more moves in the NBA trade deadline. This is a team that has fallen behind the Eastern Conference and can afford to blow things up if they want. It has already begun and could continue with one of their biggest pieces.
The Pacers moved Caris LeVert recently. He was thought to be the new centerpiece of the office when he was acquired last season but this did not work out.
Now, the Pacers could have their sights set on sending away one of their big man. Myles Turner has been the hot name on the trading block because what he can do on both ends. There is plenty of interest surrounding the center and Indiana just has to pull the trigger on a deal.
A dark-horse contender for Turner could be the Portland Trail Blazers. This is a rumor that has resurfaced in recent weeks. Portland has been in a bit of a limbo stage in the Western Conference.
