Myles Turner
Despite winning it all last season, the Dubs’ severe lack of depth at center was repeatedly exposed throughout their postseason run.
All of Golden State’s playoff opponents — Nikola Jokic in particular — took full advantage of the Warriors’ shoddy rim protection. Surprisingly, General Manager Bob Myers did little to address that hole in the roster.
Of course, Myers might believe that James Wiseman will be ready to step into that role next season or at least provide enough at the center to help lead the Warriors to a repeat.
That’s not exactly a smart bet, though, as Wiseman has spent more time on the bench than on the court thus far in his young career. Instead, Golden State could trade for a Defensive Player of the Year candidate that would fit perfectly on both ends of the court.

Myles Turner’s two-way prowess is wasting away on a rebuilding Indiana Pacers squad and his team-friendly game is begging to be poached away by a contender.
The Pacers should be looking for draft capital and young talent in return for their center, both of which the Warriors have plenty of and should be willing to part ways with for a player of Turner’s caliber.
