How This Trade Impacts Indiana Pacers
There is a case to be made either way for the Indiana Pacers when it comes to the idea of whether to trade or not to trade Myles Turner in the upcoming offseason.
In the event the Pacers were to decide to move him, the Charlotte Hornets could field a potentially intriguing offer. Adding a few young players like PJ Washington and James Bouknight would be a helpful way for the Pacers to continue to add more pieces into the fold.
For the Pacers, there would be a cleaner pathway to giving playing time to players like Isaiah Jackson at the center position. The team wants to play faster and his athleticism brings an ideal fit for that style.
In speaking of playing faster, Bouknight has incredible athleticism and would present another option on the perimeter to develop. He’s received just 10.6 minutes per game in 28 regular season appearances but would receive a cleaner pathway to playing time in Indiana.

As for PJ Washington, he would bring a shooting option in the frontcourt to take a flier on in a larger role. It does help that he will be a restricted free agent when his contract comes to an end, too.
