Agreed. Turner is good defensively, no questions there, but we are talking about offensive production of 13/7 in 30 MPG. If you package THJ + Brunson + DFS + future 1st round picks you are in the conversation for Ben Simmons or Bradley Beal, not Myles Turner.
THJ + X for Turner is enough. We might have been desperate 3-4 weeks ago. The Pacers still are. We can just continue like this for another month and the trade value of Brunson + Green only goes up.
Turner is unhappy. TJ Warren still hasn´t played. Lamb barely plays. So we take one of their expiring non-rotational players in exchange for THJ + Kleber that should be more than enough compensation. It helps increase our cap flexibility for Brunson/DFS, while also freeing up minutes for Green/Ntilikina/Brown, otherwise I´m not even sure I´d make the deal.
