Mavs wouldn't do that. It appears that Turner is a negative asset because of his contract so you aren't give up assets for Turner. I wonder in fact if they would use Dipo to get off of Turner's contract.

I don't know about that one.  Turner is the 62nd highest paid player in the league and The Athletic ranked him somewhere between 62 and 80 in its recent player ranking.  I suspect Indy would expect a pretty good return for Turner.  I think the questionable value is the Dipo rental.  

The age old question is still one of fit...mainly defensively.  Can Turner and KP play together?  Is he that elusive guy who can spread the floor, guard AD in the post and take on scoring wings on the perimeter when teams go small.  I'm beginning to think that guy is more of a "unicorn" than THE Unicorn.
