Miami Heat
Indiana Pacers Receive: G/F Duncan Robinson, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2027 First-Round Pick (MIA)
Miami Heat Receive: C Myles Turner
Of course, this Miami Heat deal puts that theory to the test. Can Myles Turner really co-exist with Bam Adebayo?
Consider this a bet that he can. In fact, some have already speculated that the 6’9 Adebayo could be even more impactful at the 4 spot. Furthermore, Turner’s ability to space the floor would offset Adebayo’s inability to do the same.
Moreover, Adebayo’s defensive versatility will make him a formidable frontcourt partner for Turner. After all, Turner thrives in drop coverage. Between the two, there won’t be a weakness to exploit against Miami on defense.
As for the Pacers, they get back to landing two first-round picks here. All told, that’s probably what they’re looking for in exchange for Myles Turner.
