Over the past few seasons, he’s been linked to a number of different teams. However, he has yet to be traded. He even <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/i-am-finally-numb-to-it-myles-turner-drops-truth-bomb-on-trade-rumors-amid-lakers-links/">said that he’s become numb to the trade stirrings</a>. Turner could still be dealt ahead of the 2022-2023 NBA season, but it appears as if he will remain with the Indiana Pacers this year. And <a href="https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-rumors-donovan-mitchell-russell-westbrook-myles-turner-houston-rockets/">according to Hoops Hype</a>, Turner is content with staying in Indiana.</p><p>Myles Turner reportedly “loves Indiana” and is “excited to play with Tyrese Haliburton,” per Hoops Hype. Haliburton is a talented young player who features a pass-first style of play. Many guards tend to dribble at the top of the key for 15-20 seconds in today’s game. So Turner is obviously looking forward to playing with an old-school player like Haliburton who doesn’t mind racking up assists instead of points.</p><p>With that being said, Tyrese Haliburton features scoring prowess as well. The Turner-Haliburton duo can help lead the Pacers to a competitive season.</p><p>The Hoops Hype article also stated that Turner is expected to receive more scoring opportunities this year. Domantas Sabonis was traded last season which means Turner is the primary big man for the Pacers. Between Haliburton’s pass-first mentality and lack of other scoring options in the post, Myles Turner may be in line for his most impressive scoring output yet. He’s always been known as a solid rebounder and tenacious shot-blocker, so the scoring truly would be icing on the cake.</p><p>There is no question that the Pacers have a budding star in their midst. Indiana may have no choice but to pay him next summer.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite all the talks, however, the big man couldn’t care less.</p><p>It’s not the first time Turner has found himself in trade rumors, though. In fact, he’s among a handful of athletes who have seen their names repeatedly thrown around in trade talks over the years, and so it’s just another offseason for the 26-year-old.</p><p>Now speaking with <a href="https://andscape.com/features/myles-turner-went-to-africa-and-came-back-with-life-career-perspective/" rel="noopener">Marc J. Spears of Andscape</a>, Turner opened up about the situation and the recent link with the Lakers, noting that he is no longer affected by it.

He going to do that.’ I am finally numb to it, in a sense. So that’s another thing that I was proud of myself for as well,” Turner said.</p><p>The Pacers’ desire to trade Myles Turner is understandable. As they continue to rebuild and acquire assets to help that cause, he poses as their best asset that can generate good returns. However as the big man hinted, it could take a toll on players until they are just numb to it.</p><p>In the end, however, the NBA is a business and teams will do whatever they think is best for the franchise.</p><p>It remains to be seen where Turner will end up with, but it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, even if the Purple and Gold pull off the trade, an NBA exec doesn’t believe it makes them title contenders.</p><p>While no deal is imminent and it’s unlikely the Lakers make a move for Hield and Turner until they are sure they cannot get Kyrie Irving from the Brooklyn Nets, the anonymous NBA exec highlighted that making the trade with the Pacers doesn’t really move the needle for the team.</p><p>“What do Buddy and Turner do for the Lakers?

Well, that is certainly a different matter worth a second look.</p><p>“Maybe if they could combine the Nets and Pacers into one trade, bring back Kyrie, Turner and Buddy, that’d be worth giving up a couple of firsts,” the exec furthered before noting a one caveat: “Even if that saved the Nets a ton of money and Indiana got two firsts out of it, do they agree to work together to help LeBron and the Lakers contend?”</p><p>The Lakers are still in limbo on what they will do. It’s unknown when they’ll get clarity on the Irving situation, but that could also result to them missing out on their other targets to fill the roster.</p><p>LeBron James and co. missed the postseason in 2021-22, so they have every desire to get back to the playoffs and contend for the title again. Adding another big star or capable role players could give them a massive boost, but the question remains whether they can pull one or not.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the front office hasn’t had much luck in finding a trade partner. Many believe the Indiana Pacers are interested in acquiring the star guard, but the franchise isn’t willing to pay a premium price either. Especially considering LA is rumored to be asking for Buddy Hield and Myles Turner in return.</p><p><a href="https://theathletic.com/3444329/2022/07/25/indiana-pacers-rebuild-kravitz/">According to The Athletic</a>, the Pacers are actively shopping both Hield and Turner, but they’re not going to trade them both away for what LA offered. “Team president Kevin Pritchard won’t accept a lousy deal to move on from them — witness Indiana’s recent refusal to make a trade with the Lakers, who were offering Russell Westbrook, a first-rounder in 2027, and two second-rounders.”</p><p>That would be quite the haul for Los Angeles, especially considering Russell Westbrook’s production fell off a cliff last season. Perhaps the Pacers will look more into a potential Westbrook trade, but the front office is playing it smart. Buddy Hield and Myles Turner are two valuable assets and it’s likely Indiana can find a better deal elsewhere.</p><p>These of course are rumors for now, as these trade details are just rumblings from around the league. If they’re true, then it sounds like the Lakers <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-los-angeles-hit-with-harsh-reality-in-pacers-trade-talks-involving-russell-westbrook-others/">attempted to rob</a> the Pacers, but luckily, Indiana wasn’t having any of it.</p><p>Keep an eye on Indy moving forward as they’re in the market to trade Hield and Turner. There is still plenty of time in the offseason to ponder negotiations, so the Pacers will likely be patient in evaluating trade offers. As for the Lakers, they might have to consider finding a different team to ship Russell Westbrook. There is still some hope for a possible Kyrie Irving-LeBron James reunion, but for now, nothing is for certain.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It would have given the Pacers a skilled, young center to pair with Tyrese Haliburton and possibly led to a Myles Turner trade coming to fruition. Phoenix put the kibosh on those plans, though.</p><p>The Pacers could have tried to work out a sign-and-trade that sent Turner (and possibly other players) to the Suns. This would have finally allowed them to move on from Turner and persuaded the Suns to let him leave. Phoenix was not interested in doing so, instead choosing to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-phoenix-surprisingly-matches-pacers-133-million-offer-sheet-for-deandre-ayton/">match the offer sheet immediately</a> and keep Ayton.</p><p>Now, Indiana still has Turner. The 26-year-old has been on the trade block for a while now. it doesn’t seem like he’s bound to move after watching Malcolm Brogdon get traded to the Boston Celtics. He is the last remaining piece of their playoff core. The time has never been more appropriate to trade him, even though Ayton isn’t coming to Indiana.</p><p><b><i>*Watch NBA Games LIVE with fuboTV (<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408">click for free trial</a>)*</i></b></p><h2>3 reasons Pacers must still trade Myles Turner after Deandre Ayton saga</h2><p><b>3. Indiana has young centers to develop </b></p><p>If the Pacers didn’t have many options behind Turner, it might make more sense to keep him for a portion of the season. However, that is not the case. The team has several big men who should get playing time not only because they are young but because they have shown some potential.</p><p>The Pacers have second-year big man Isaiah Jackson, mid-season trade acquisition Jalen Smith and 2019 first-round pick Goga Bitadze. Each of them is younger than 23 years old and could be a solid player to build around.</p><p>Jackson is just 20 years old and has the makings of a solid shot blocker and lob finisher. Smith shot 37.3 percent from the 3-point territory after being traded to Indiana last season. Bitadze may be the odd one out, especially with his contract also set to expire, but has shown some promise as a shot-blocker. Indiana should find as much playing time for each of them as possible.</p><p><b>2. Turner’s contract is running out</b></p><p>The urgency to trade Turner is growing because his contract is going to expire after this season. The Pacers have opted not to move on from Turner plenty of times. They are running out of road to kick the can down.</p><p>The Pacers can still wait until the trade deadline to move Turner. Teams may be more active in talks about him at that time. However, the Pacers won’t have as much leverage to trade him later on. Also, they would be wise to open up playing time for Jackson, Smith and Bitadze sooner. It’s in their best interest to trade him this offseason.</p><p>Turner is making $17.5 million this season. The Pacers should not have much of a problem finding a team who can accommodate a trade for a contract of that size.</p><p><b>1. Turner should still have a market</b></p><p>Despite a flurry of rumors at the trade deadline, Turner was not traded, partly due to a foot injury. Now that he is healthy, there should be plenty of teams interested in adding him.</p><p>Plenty of teams spent this offseason looking for centers. With their options bare, Turner could be the best one up for grabs at the moment. The Charlotte Hornets could look to add Turner and use first-round pick Mark Williams as a backup. The Brooklyn Nets could add him to their center rotation, too.</p><p>Even if it’s too late for the Pacers to get back something of real value for Myles Turner, it’s in their best interest to move on. They have enough young talent to lean fully into a rebuild and the possibility of finding a trade should not be too difficult.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s recently been reported that Ayton intends to sign an offer sheet from the Pacers for 4 years and $133 million. The offer sheet is the largest in league history; and with Ayton being a restricted free agent, the Suns have two days to either match the offer or let him go with nothing in return.</p><p>Such a deal also puts Turner in a precarious position. Should the Ayton deal go through, Turner’s future with the team will be uncertain and they may seek to trade him. Luckily for him, there are more than a few teams that could use his services. It also presents an opportunity for Phoenix to acquire assets they wouldn’t get from Ayton’s departure.</p><p><b><i>*Watch NBA Games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408">fuboTV (click for free trial)</a>*</i></b></p><h2>Best Trade Destinations For Myles Turner</h2><h2>Chicago Bulls</h2><p>Despite the recent signing of Andre Drummond, the Bulls are still in need of a starting center. Although he was serviceable in the 2021 season, Nikola Vucevic struggled against the elite bigs in the league. There was speculation that the Bulls would attempt to make a deal for Rudy Gobert, but he was eventually shipped to Minnesota to join Karl-Anthony Towns. Turner could be the next best thing in the event that he’s up for grabs.</p><p>Myles Turner’s last two seasons have been severely hindered by injuries, but there’s still a lot to be excited about. Through 47 games in the 2020 season, he averaged 12.6 points, 6.5 boards, and an eye-popping 3.4 blocks per game. Turner played just 42 games in 2021, managing 12.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks in just 29.4 minutes per game. With numbers like that, it’s hard not to speculate how much better he could be with consistent play. Unlike Vucevic, he’s also a regular Defensive Player of the Year candidate when he can put together a full season.</p><h2>Phoenix Suns</h2><p>It’s not outside the realm of possibility that the Suns work out a sign and trade with Indiana that sends Turner to Phoenix. The Suns don’t view Ayton as a max player, so it’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2-reasons-deandre-ayton-133-million-offer-sheet-sinks-kevin-durant-trade-to-suns/">highly unlikely he’ll be on the team</a> at the start of the 2022 season. Because the 2018 no. 1 overall pick is still a restricted free agent, Phoenix will surely want something in return. With Ayton’s intention to sign Indiana’s offer sheet, taking the sign-and-trade route makes sense. In doing so, the Suns may actually end up a better team than last season.</p><p>In four seasons with the Suns, Ayton has career averages of 16.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 1 block per game. The numbers are solid, but they haven’t really gotten any better throughout his career. At 23 years old, Ayton already looks to have plateaued. Turner, on the other hand, has shown improvement. His 3-point percentage jumped from 21.4% in his rookie season to 34.8%. In fact, he shot 33.3% from deep in 2021 with 4.4 attempts a game, showing clear growth in his game. He averaged 1.4 blocks per game his rookie season, while his most recent season was double that. Again, it has to be remembered that this growth is happening despite all the injuries. A healthy Myles Turner, due about $18 million in 2022, would be a steal compared to a player who’s not getting worse but also not getting better.</p><p>Because the Suns and Ayton are at odds when it comes to Ayton’s value, it would be unexpected to see the team match Indiana’s offer to keep him. It should, however, be enticed by the possibility of bringing in Turner. After Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Donovan Mitchell, he will surely drum up significant interest around the league.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They grabbed some nice assets in the 2022 NBA Draft, most notably sixth overall pick Bennedict Mathurin. Their backcourt is looking very promising with Tyrese Haliburton leading the way, <a href="https://cm.indystar.com/offers-reg/?return=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indystar.com%2Fstory%2Fsports%2Fnba%2Fpacers%2F2022%2F07%2F08%2Fpacers-may-pursue-deandre-ayton-offer-sheet-prior-kevin-durant-deal%2F10011725002%2F">but there are still numerous rumors linking them to Phoenix Suns big man Deandre Ayton</a>, who is a restricted free agent.</p><p>On Monday, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brian-windhorst-drops-update-deandre-ayton-pacers/">ESPN guru Brian Windhorst reported that the Pacers are nearing a sign-and-trade for Ayton,</a> which essentially means he’d replace Myles Turner at the five. Turner has found his name in trade talks for months now and to be honest, acquiring a young, athletic big in Ayton could be the right move for this organization as they head into a full youth movement.</p><p>Here are 3 reasons the Pacers should acquire Deandre Ayton in NBA Free Agency as an upgrade for Myles Turner.</p><p><b><i>Watch NBA Games LIVE with fuboTV (<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408">click for free trial</a>)</i></b></p><h2><b>3 reasons Pacers should acquire Deandre Ayton as Myles Turner upgrade</b></h2><p><b>3. He’s younger and more versatile</b></p><p>Turner isn’t old by any means. He’s just 26. But, Ayton is 23 and a lot more athletic and versatile, especially offensively. Turner is essentially a rim-runner who does most of his damage around the cup. Ayton on the other hand has a great mid-range game and even offers a little bit of promise as a facilitator. Ayton also fits right into the mold for the Pacers, who are evidently going as young as possible. He shoots the ball substantially better than Turner and would bring playoff experience to Indiana, something they currently don’t have.</p><p><b>2. Ayton is just better </b></p><p>The numbers speak for themselves. The most points Turner has ever averaged in a single campaign is 14.5 and that was way back in 2016-17, his second season in the league. Ayton? He put up 17.2 points and 10.2 rebounds per night in 2021-22. Turner has never collected more than 7.3 boards in a season. Ayton is regularly in double-digits when it comes to doing damage to the glass. He would instantly make the Pacers better in the rebounding department, an area where they’ve struggled.</p><p>Although Ayton isn’t the same type of shot-blocker as Turner, he is a much better lob threat. The former Arizona standout was a regular target for both Chris Paul and Devin Booker for alley-oops and with another high-level playmaker like Haliburton running the point, they’d form a lethal guard-big duo that could wreak havoc.</p><p><b>1. Turner can’t stay healthy</b></p><p>Ayton has dealt with injury problems as well. But Turner is barely ever healthy, especially across the last two seasons where he’s played a total of 89 games. Yes, Domantas Sabonis was on the roster before and essentially slotted in at the five, but he’s now gone and it’s clear that Turner isn’t the answer anymore. A guy who struggles to stay on the floor isn’t worth keeping for a Pacers team that is looking to turn the tables and let their young core lead them into the future.</p><p>Plus, Ayton will come in with a tremendous attitude. He’s clearly undervalued by the Suns, who have refused to give him a max deal. Since Ayton is an RFA, they can match any offer, which is why a sign-and-trade works here. It would see Turner head back to Phoenix and get a fresh start of his own. For both sides, this blockbuster honestly just makes too much sense.</p><p>The Pacers and Suns need to get it done ASAP.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

According to NBA guru Brian Windhorst of ESPN, Indiana could be looking at the possibility of a sign-and-trade for Ayton involving Myles Turner:</p><blockquote>“The forgotten man out there, and that’s Deandre Ayton,” Windhorst said (h/t <a href="https://twitter.com/_TradeDeadline/status/1545109271678943232">The Trade Deadline</a> on Twitter). “This man, at some point, is gonna get paid, and that could be by the end of this week.

The Pacers appear to be one of them, but they will need to take the sign-and-trade route to land Ayton, as opposed to signing him outright as a free agent. Myles Turner has long been linked to a move away from Indiana, and if the Suns like the Pacers’ offer, Turner could find himself playing alongside Devin Booker and Chris Paul next season.</p><blockquote> </blockquote><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One of the teams believed to be a preferred destination, the Phoenix Suns, have some assets, like forward Mikal Bridges and center Deandre Ayton, who would make sense in a potential package for the Nets superstar. However, an outside player could also be involved in the Durant-Ayton <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-kevin-durant-trade-request-sparks-wild-kyrie-irving-theory-from-kendrick-perkins/">madness</a>: Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner. <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10041105-nba-offseason-intel-latest-buzz-on-kevin-durant-kyrie-irving-deandre-ayton">Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer</a> has the latest.</p><blockquote>If Ayton signs into Indiana’s cap space, that could actually impact Durant’s trade request. Even an Ayton sign-and-trade to Indiana would complicate the cleanest path for Phoenix to acquire Durant—Ayton’s free agency. In that scenario, it’s unlikely that Phoenix and Indiana could create a combined package that would entice Brooklyn to part with Durant.Pacers center Myles Turner has not generated significant traction on the trade market this offseason, sources said. A theoretical trade return of Turner, multiple Suns wings and draft capital still wouldn’t appear to satisfy the Nets, according to sources.</blockquote><p>Fischer says that if Ayton signs with the <a href="https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/jWJo3b">Pacers</a> or if Phoenix executes a sign-and-trade with Indiana, it could complicate things for the Nets.</p><p>If the Suns big man landed in Indiana, they would surely then look to move Myles Turner. Potentially including him in a Durant trade with the Suns and Nets would make the most sense.</p><p>However, Fischer reports that a potential trade of Turner, Suns wings, and draft capital still wouldn’t be enough to appease the Nets in a Durant deal. Brooklyn is asking for a massive haul in exchange for their superstar.</p><p>It seems like Myles Turner is likely to get dealt at some point. Don’t expect the Pacers big man to be involved in the Durant-Ayton madness, though.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Just a few days ago, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-rumors-latest-myles-turner-update-could-make-tricky-scenario-after-acquiring-tyrese-haliburton/">it seemed like Turner was waiting to negotiate a contract extension</a>.

However, because of Turner’s long-term foot injury, the pair never got the chance to play with one another.</p><p><a href="https://hoopshype.com/lists/aggregate-nba-mock-draft-trade-rumors-ousmane-dieng-lottery-jalen-williams-top-20/">HoopsHype </a>also notes that moving forward, Turner would have a chance to play a larger role for Indiana, which is what he wants. This is because Domantas Sabonis is out of the picture, as he was one of the players traded to the Kings in exchange for Haliburton.</p><p>The Sacramento trade is exactly what Turner needed for his career in Indiana to work. By this logic, it would make sense for him to stay with the Pacers past 2023. Now, he just has to figure out a way to solidify his future with the Pacers and avoid being part of a trade himself.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
