So thinking ab this more Myles Turner is a really good, sensible target for the Mavs - young, shoots outside, very good defender. His contract isn't bad in that there's only 2 years even if he is perhaps overpaid on a yearly basis.
There isn't a direct path from KP to Turner but I think trading with one of these other teams will give you pieces that Indy wants. For a while I have thought Maxi would be a good Turner replacement and cheaper. As much as we like Turner, he has been a bit of a disappointment for Pacers and has been an awkward fit with Sabonis. In my view it makes more sense to move Turner than Sabonis if you are breaking up that twosome.
Bertans is another option that could be traded for Turner. There are different combinations where Dallas ends up with Turner plus a piece or two leftover. Those could be kept or flipped for other things. If Mavs are able to use cap space I'd love to get Dragic and Batum in here somehow.
