Indiana Pacers Receive: G Patrick Beverley, G Kendrick Nunn, 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL) 

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: C Myles Turner 

Obviously, this is not the first time you’ve considered Myles Turner in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform. 

The big man is routinely linked to the team. With that said, most scenarios have him heading to LA with teammate Buddy Hield, with Russell Westbrook and a pair of picks heading back to the Pacers. 

Perhaps that won’t be necessary. Westbrook has actually been turning a corner for the Lakers lately.

Meanwhile, adding a stretch big man like Turner should improve Westbrook’s performance even further.

Like Mo Bamba, Myles Turner will be able to co-exist with Davis when he returns as well. On the other hand, he won’t be able to replicate Davis’ offensive production.

If that’s a priority for the Lakers, they may prefer the next deal.
