Indiana Pacers Receive: F Bojan Bogdanovic, 2023 First-Round Pick (UTA)

Utah Jazz Receive: C Myles Turner

This trade isn’t the same type of blockbuster as the first one. It would generate interest, but it’s not the reason fans across the world are refreshing their Twitter feeds until their thumbs are sore.

It could still be a blessing for the Utah Jazz.

After all, this team has grown accustomed to having an elite drop coverage big man protecting the rim. Myles Turner may not be in Rudy Gobert’s league, but he’s still above average in that area. On the other hand, unlike Gobert, Turner spaces the floor.

That’s an element that Mitchell has never worked with before. Who knows how effective he could be with the open driving lanes that Turner’s 34.9% career three-point shooting provides.
