The Indiana Pacers are discussing a potential Myles Turner trade with multiple teams this offseason. The Pacers also made Turner available last offseason in Gordon Hayward sign-and-trade discussions with the Boston Celtics.

"They are having trade conversations," said Kevin O'Connor. "I believe I had it in my story that they've had some conversations with the Pacers, the Pacers have been one of the more active teams, the name that I've heard involved in those conversations is Myles Turner."

The fit of Turner alongside Domantas Sabonis has been frequently debated since both are best suited at center in today's NBA.

Turner is signed through the 22-23 season at $18 million per season.

Would be a good fit with the Hornets

I would look at him if I were Dallas.

no! Turner is the better teamfit longterm than Sabonis! Sure, Sabonis is the better Player, but Sabonis as lone 5 will make the Pacers irrelevant for years to come.

“ Gordon Hayward sign-and-trade discussions with the Boston Celtics.”

I thought Hayward was a Hornet.

Gordon wanted to go home to Indiana plus get paid. Ainge didn’t want turner. As usual Ainge. He got greedy (but lucky in this case) cause he wanted tj Warren or victor oladipo in a sign and trade and ended up with nothing.

Graham or Rozier for Turner?

I've been saying for a month that Golden State and Indiana need to workout a deal centered around Myles Turner. The big kink is that the Pacers have guys on reasonable contracts and it's tough to match them up with GS without Wiggins being involved. Pacers likely dont want him and with that nasty contract, Wiggins is going to cost to include. Pacers have guys that would fit beautifully in GS and are in or entering their prime. For me, a deal with GS has to include Wiseman and the #7 when Wiggins gets involved. That would allow a full rebuild without the losing and that's the holy grail for the Pacers franchise. It would hurt a bit to send these guys out but the end result would justify it. Last year's 2nd pick, this year's #7, and 2 late lotto picks to add to a core of Brogdon/LeVert/Sabonis. GS gets their center, an awesome 3 and D guy in Holiday, and a bíg time scorer in TJ Warren that would be a great scorer off the bench and insurance for Klay getting hurt again.

Pacers send to the Warriors

Myles Turner
TJ Warren
Justin Holiday

Warriors send to the Pacers
Wiseman
Wiggins
#7 and #14

Pretty doubtful the Pacers would have interest in either now. I believe they likely have had interest in both in the past but I don't see it with our current roster. I think the Pacers are probably looking for draft capital first and foremost.

Turner and Holiday (ether one) for CJ McCollum

he was confused because he didn't read carefully and missed this part of the sentence: "The Pacers also made Turner available last offseason"

Sabonis and Wiseman seems to be worse fit than Sabonis and Turner or Sabonis and Goga

I don't see how you can reach that conclusion off a tiny sample size in college and a partial year with the Warriors. Wiseman is extremely young and his game is too. Both will grow and mature. The trade isn't about getting a center next to Sabonis either but rather about the Pacers Holy Grail...a true rebuild that comes about without the losing.
