Indiana Pacers Receive: G Russell Westbrook, 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL), 2029 First-Round Pick (LAL) 

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: C Myles Turner, G/F Buddy Hield

Everyone knows the Lakers should do this deal. Even Myles Turner. 

On Adrian Wojnarowski’s podcast, Turner himself suggested the organization should acquire him. It’s not often a player advocates for a trade on the most prominent insider in the NBA’s podcast. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if tampering charges are considered here. 

On the other hand, we can’t blame Turner for wanting out of Indiana. After all, it feels like the Pacers have been considering moving on from him from the moment they acquired him in the first place. 

In fact, the Pacers offered Deandre Ayton a max rookie extension this summer. This organization basically outwardly told Turner they’d like to replace him.
