Toronto Raptors Receive: C Myles Turner, G T.J. McConnell, 2023 First-Round Pick (via CLE)
Indiana Pacers Receive: F OG Anunoby, C Khem Birch
This hypothetical trade between the Toronto Raptors and Indiana Pacers is likely one that wouldn’t occur soon. There are reports that Myles Turner will be on the roster and in the starting lineup on opening night, but this is the kind of deal that could be discussed down the road.
Turner would be heading to Toronto, filling their need for some size in their lineup. Joining him north of the border would be T.J. McConnell.
McConnell is one of the better backup point guards in the NBA and would fill a need on the roster with the second unit.
The Raptors are also receiving a first-round pick via the Cleveland Cavaliers in this deal. That is because they are parting ways with one of their high-upside wings in OG Anunoby.

Anunoby is the youngest player involved in the deal and possesses the most upside. He is worth the inclusion of a first-round pick that will likely be in the 20s. Khem Birch is joining Anunoby on the trip to Indiana to help match their salary.
How would this trade impact each team involved? Let’s take a look at it from each of their perspectives, starting with the Raptors.
