Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Myles Turner 

If you’re a fan of a contending team besides the Brooklyn Nets, you’re probably hoping this trade doesn’t occur. If it does, the rest of the NBA should be terrified. 

Realistically, Turner is the perfect big to compliment any contending squad. His ability to stretch the floor and protect the rim at the same time gives him a rare and valuable skill set. With that said, it’s especially useful for this Brooklyn Nets squad. 

As constructed, they don’t have a credible stretch 5. With Ben Simmons on the roster, that’s a potentially large problem. As a non-shooting lead ball-handler, Simmons needs a big man who can space the floor for him in order to be maximized. 

Landing one like Turner could make the Nets unstoppable. Yes, they’re paying a hefty price here. We’re simply looking at the market. If Christian Wood commanded a single first-rounder for the Rockets, Turner, as a vastly superior defender, ought to command one along with a pick swap.
