24-year-old Myles Turner is one of the best young centers in the game. And while his performance often flies under the radar, he has been a vital member of the Pacers, and brings a lot of skills to the court every time he suits up.
As the trade deadline draws closer, it’s looking increasingly likely that he moves on from Indiana. According to the newest report by J. Michael of the IndyStar, the young big man is drawing interest from at least five teams around the association.
With the trade deadline nine days away, Myles Turner’s name will inevitably come up when it comes to teams who have interest in him.
There are more than a few.
The New York Knicks, L.A. Lakers, L.A. Clippers, Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans are among those who have explored whether the Pacers are willing to part with the league’s leading shot-blocker, league sources tell IndyStar.

Turner is a multi-faceted big man who brings size, interior defense, and rebounding. All six teams (with the exception of New Orleans) have some pretty significant holes in the frontcourt, and Turner can help all of them satisfy their need.
The question is, what kind of price would Turner come at, and will teams be willing to pay? Despite having never been named an All-Star, the young stud has loads of potential, and could thrive in the right situation.
It will be interesting to see where he ends up by the time it’s all said and done.
