1. Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors are another team that is focused on the pursuit of Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets. They believe that they have the best trade package to present to the Nets, but they are unwilling to include Scottie Barnes Jr., which has been seen as a non-starter for Brooklyn.

If they look elsewhere on the trade market, finding some help in the middle would make sense. Nick Nurse did a wonderful job game planning with what he had, creating a hectic, havoc-causing defense predicated on length and athleticism.

They added to that by bringing on Otto Porter Jr. However, the need for size still exists, as they got dominated on the interior in their postseason matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. That is why a player such as Myles Turner would be such a good fit for the Toronto Raptors.

Part of the reason the Raptors found success was that the offense was efficient. They had just enough spacing and players willing to shoot the ball from the perimeter, which not every center is capable of. Turner is a solid stretch five, so he would fit into the scheme offensively.

Defensively, he could help take them to another level. He makes life difficult for opponents inside the paint, where the Toronto Raptors were susceptible to getting beat without a true center. They can still play their aggressive style on the perimeter, and it could be even more dangerous knowing there is an elite rim protector as the last line of defense.
