Indiana Pacers Receive: C James Wiseman, G/F Moses Moody, F Patrick Baldwin Jr.
Golden State Warriors Receive: C Myles Turner
It feels crazy to say this, but if the Golden State Warriors did acquire Myles Turner, he’d be the best center they rostered over the course of their dynasty.
We don’t mean to disrespect Andrew Bogut. The former number one pick was good for the Warriors when they first emerged as a powerhouse.
Still, his limited athleticism rendered him virtually unplayable for an entire playoff series or two.
Nobody is trying to sell Kevon Looney short, either. Looney was pivotal during last year’s championship run. His ability to defend in space and willingness to do the dirty work is invaluable to the Warriors.

Still, there’s a reason Myles Turner makes more than double his salary. He would be a distinctive upgrade, and he’d give the Warriors a different look than they’ve ever had at the position.
Is he worth the cost they’d be paying here?
