Charlotte Hornets Receive: C Jonas Valanciunas, 2023 First-Round Pick (LAL via NOP)
Indiana Pacers Receive: F/C P.J. Washington, F Kelly Oubre
New Orleans Pelicans Receive: C Myles Turner

The Charlotte Hornets are frequently linked to Myles Turner. They need a big, and Turner is widely regarded as potentially available. What if they landed Valanciunas instead?

Of course, they wouldn’t get involved here strictly for Valanciunas. If the Pacers are open to receiving Washington and Oubre in exchange for Turner, the Hornets could offer them straight up and cut the Pelicans out.

The Lakers’ 2023 first-rounder feels like a sufficient sweetener. The Lakers will be trying to compete next season, but we all saw how that went last year. There are no guarantees this pick won’t end up in the lottery.

For the Pacers to accept this deal, they’d have to prefer Washington to the uncertainty surrounding that pick. They might. He’s a valuable combo big man who spaces the floor and defends. At 23, he can be part of this young Pacers core.
