The Indiana Pacers are looking to be sellers at the NBA trade deadline, and they certainly have a number of interesting assets teams would at least want to ask about their price tags. Among them is big man Myles Turner, who is already getting interest from a number of teams, including the Minnesota Timberwolves, who already has one of the best big men around in the form of Karl-Anthony Towns.
Via Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report:
Myles Turner appears the likeliest Indiana player to be traded before the deadline, with a list of suitors that includes Dallas, Minnesota, New York, Sacramento, Charlotte and Portland. Toronto was also mentioned by several league personnel as a team to keep an eye on for Turner's services. The Pacers' asking price is said to include multiple first-round picks.
The Timberwolves are looking at Turner's direction while at the same time trying to keep tabs on the Ben Simmons situation in Philadelphia.
While still entrenched in Ben Simmons conversations, the Timberwolves remain in the market for a frontcourt partner for Karl-Anthony Towns, despite his successful pairing with Jarred Vanderbilt. It's believed Minnesota is willing to part with Malik Beasley in such a deal.
Needless to say, a frontcourt tandem of Turner and Towns would be a formidable one. Both can play great defense at the rim and have the range to step out and be a threat from behind the arc. Turner comes with a price of $17.5 million per year until the end of the 2022-23 NBA season.
