What can Myles Turner bring to a new team if traded this offseason?
His https://t.co/3Xagb3XCzp Player Profile sheds some light:
🟡 Average 3PT shooting
⚪️ Strong finishing but poor creation at the rim
🟡 Strong roll/pop/slip impact
⚪️ Top notch rim protection pic.twitter.com/pxST6DnSBB— BBall Index (@The_BBall_Index) June 18, 2021

Numbers that will evaporate as a 3rd or 4th option.

Just a note: New #Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle LOVES Myles Turner. He called him "the future of the center position" recently. This could change Indiana's offseason plan quite a bit.

It’s interesting when people talk about parity, the Pacers are a great example of that…just to tear it down for what???
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Pacers fans spend money like other fan bases and they have a competitive team. Parity only works for those when they see opportunities to take advantage of weakness…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
The Lakers do not have the cap space to take advantage of these “perceived” advantages. We’re limited and other teams can offer better packages…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Carlisle ran a few sets of high 1/4/5 Pick and Rolls in Dallas, with Brogdan and Dom and Turner, you’d give that up before you saw what you had??
-

Before you decide you want the Lambo, not the Bugatti, you take it out and stretch its legs.

They made decide one of them goes, but you fired two Nates because the Players they weren’t properly coached. No excuses now.

Indy has no imeptus to trade Turner. He’s under contract and a high level talent on both ends. They’re not going to get fair value and they won’t be able to replace him through free agency because most good free agents won’t take their call even.

Per 36, they’re dead even except Spencer is a better scorer, playmaker and rebounder…

He has an array of moves, his crossover is 2nd to none, he loves scoop layups, he finishes with a plethora of creativity…He’s always in the Top 10 of Pick and Roll guards in the league in terms of assist ratio…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Melo might be the best creative passer in the game…Spence is the best skip-passer in the league…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
He loves Kobe. He wants to be a Laker…He’s a scorer with all kinds of other skills…Come home Spence!

If Spence or another LA dude landed in LA. It’s be an easy decision for DeMar DeRozan.

Not sure why both teams would hard-cap themselves for what is essentially a lateral move. Probably have to get creative and bring in a 3rd team to make it feasible. If he really wanted to come to Lakers the he probably
shouldn’t have opted out.-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
That’s what I’m saying though. I think this is designed to give the Nets a return on a boneheaded move they decided to make. Makes no sense for the Lakers to trade for Spence when they can sign him.
-
![Profile picture of MongoSlade]()
They can’t sign him for the money he’s looking for now..can they?
-
![Profile picture of LakerTom]()
$9,5M NT MLE is best Lakers could offer free agent. Otherwise, they need to S&T.

Possibly attainable point guards I would prefer over Dennis Schroder:
1. Kyle Lowry
2. Lonzo Ball
3. Chris Paul
4. Kemba Walker
5. Russell Westbrook
6. Malcolm Brogdon
7. Cameron Payne-

Tom, why would a Indy trade (Brogdan, Dom, Turner) before Carlisle sees them first?
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Only death and taxes are guarantees in life…Pacers trading Myles Turner ain’t happening under Rick Carlisle.
-
![Profile picture of LakerTom]()
I respectfully disagree, Sean. Turner will be traded. The issue is simple, Sean. After two years, the numbers for Turner and Sabonis are terrible. The Twin Towers experiment has been a failure. Carlisle knows this. Everybody knows this. It’s why the Pacers have been talking about a Turner trade the last two years.
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Carlisle knows it didn’t work under a different coach…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Alpha dogs need to see for themselves…To me Pacers make moves around the margins…they have a healthy T.J. Warren coming back…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
T.J. Warren Malcolm Brogdan, Dom and Myles are a playoff team if built around the right way.
-
![Profile picture of Jamie Sweet]()
Pacers looking for draft capital we cannot offer. You know I’d love Turner in P&G just don’t see a path other teams can’t take the high road and swipe him from us.

Brand is still the GM, technically and Morey didn’t hire Doc, they go together like Oil and water 💦…Doc and Brett Brown are both being paid this upcoming year by the Sixers..
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
doubt they want to kick 🦵 Elton to the curb given the financial commitments involved.
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
So unless they want to just give him away they could. Or they could all be stuck together for another year.

They should fire Brand and Doc.

Man, pay all 3 of them to go away? Is it possible Hinkie might die from laughing???

Ben is rightfully taking most of the heat. Ownership will give this new FO team time to make its mark..as they should. Can’t have $35mill of your cap space tied up in a dude who’s scared. Morey & Rivers didn’t do that..not sure what role EB played in it though.

Raps will get a Superstar.
Cade will stay in Detroit for 7 years and ask for a trade. No evidence they will build and spend to have a winner around him.
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Sexton is a S&T candidate…Rockets really need to nail this pick to build beside Christian Wood and Tate.
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
It also eliminates the Raps as a trade partner for Ben Simmons. They’ve invested in FVV. They spend a 1st round pick on Malachi (Malakey) Flynn, they’re gonna spend this pick on a guard…

The big deal-o is Elton Brand remains the GM…he signed Doc to a 5 year contract through 2025…Daryl can fire Elton whenever he wants. He likely will at some point…he is also paying Brett Brown and Doc for 2021-22. He can fire Doc trade Ben

Pete Maravich put up 51 PTS on 21/34 shooting.
Can you imagine how many points Prime Pistol would have averaged if the NBA had a 3PT line? It was introduced during his final season. He made 10 of 15.

Jerry West's shot was so tough to guard. There is only a fraction of a second between the time he picks up his dribble and his shot getting released.
IMO, West had the greatest pull up jumpshot in NBA History. pic.twitter.com/5RP5pYZb2O

I used to spend hours in the driveway working on my pull up jumper and watching my shadow to make it look like Jerry’s. That for a kid who wasn’t even a Lakers fan at that time. No player ever had as much influence on my game as the Logo’s. That pull up jumper going right was absolutely magical.

He’s shot >40% from the corners for over 3 years. His above the break is below average.
