Should the Jazz Trade for Myles Turner?

AD is supposedly available. We can go after him...

He probably plays more games than Turner, but his constant minor injuries would be very aggrivating.

In others news, Turner just had 12 and 6 in the first quarter against the Pelicans.
 
Myles Turner a lot better than I thought. This is the first time I've really watched him post-Sabonis.

Definitely an upgrade at the position , but the question is what would we have to give up ?

If he keeps playing like he is today, there will probably be a decent enough bidding war to put him out of the Jazz's price range.

Always hard to know though with expiring guys.
 
Considering the price he comes at, Turner could be the turning point that gets us a ring. If you have KO coming off the bench, that's two bigs shooting 3's. Your interior defense is solidified.

Do you keep Kessler?
 
He also had 7 points a week ago and 5 points a few days before that if you're going to pull out his 'good' stats
 
I would be wary to mess with the chemistry we have right now. Kessler is proving a lot of people wrong, and just keeps playing and having an impact on the court. Yeah as a rookie he isn't as impactful as Turner but I don't want to see his development stifled either. Also who do you trade that they would want without disrupting team chemistry and cohesion. THT is about the only one and do they want him that bad? I think Turner would really be a strong impact player for us, not much pressure here to score or anything, and his defensive impact is undeniable, but I wouldn't want to disrupt what we have going right now, nor blow too many future assets to get him when it might not do much to move the needle. Now like if we had a chance to bring in Butler, we do that, he would be a real impact player and kind of what we need right now, a go-get-buckets guy and true elite 2-way player. But other than a Butler type I would be really wary to mix things up too much when other moves are unlikely to kick us from suprisingly-good-team status to possible-championship-team level in one fell swoop while hurting the future tweaking we could do with the assets we have.

I posted thoughts about trading for Turner right after the season started, as a s/t option, if they were unloading vets. They woukld have needed to use one or two protected picks from other teams to get it done.
However, this roster has outperformed everyone's expectations even without a true rim protector that is available. I agree at this point trading for him is going to mess with the chems because the Jazz would have to part with a current asset, that is part of the success story and probably 3 firsts if they didn't.
Leave it alone and if there is mutual interest (doubt it) then bring him in to the Jazz in UFA next summer .
He is in his prime and playing well ,but on a bad team with high usage, getting praise by OP and fans w/ similar mindsets,that imo are ignoring his tude about getting paid and bigger market lust won't fit here.

Myles Turner is going to be the piece that pushes us into title contention?
