Should the Jazz Trade for Myles Turner?

Eddie Zero said:
No, they are not selling off JC or Conley with Picks now that the tank is stuck in the mountain. Turner also has had some very distasteful,and what I consider clues to the type of personality he has, with his open desire to go to the Lakers. As if he is somehow the missing piece. This guy is not a team player obviously, despite his skillset filling a lot of holes in the front court. I wouldn't touch it.
I don't think Danny would ever consider it given the amount of money he is demanding either.

Yup. Turner will absolutely start pouting if he doesn't get his touches.

If we get to the trade deadline and still look like we could make some noise in the playoffs, then I would. I like Turner, and really want some more rim protection on the team.

I am the opposite, if they are still winning, I am not giving up anyone or anything to bring in a guy who wants to play for the pathetic Lakers. Let Ainge give him an offer in ufa next summer after a solid Jazz season.

Lmao. The team (Indiana) wants him traded to the Lakers. They probably co-signed that podcast and where like yeah, tell them to give up both picks for you and Buddy.

Myles Turner is one of the nicer/more positive players in the NBA.

And no one is suggesting giving up Conley/JC.

Currently no one has traded for Turner, but I think everyone assumes he is going to get traded. He's an expiring contract with injury issues, so he won't be that expensive. Indiana was rumored to want THT. You trade them THT, a first rounder (which, idk, but you could make it the least valuable of the 3 we have this year), and add whatever salary filler is needed. It probably wouldn't be Gay because of his multi year deal, but the Jazz have a lot of ways to match salary with many expiring contracts that don't have to include any of the contributing rotation players. I wouldn't give up Ochai/Kessler and I don't it would be necessary.

Right now the West is looking fairly wide open. If getting a significant upgrade to your roster only cost 1 first and THT, that *could* be a risk worth taking.

I love what KO brings to the team, but he's aging and isn't going to be around forever. I also question how he's going to hold up with his own injury history playing so many minutes. Seeing how a player of Turners archetype fits with the team for a trial run would be a valuable experiment.

go back to work smh
 
I don't think it's a terrible idea, but he would need to come with an extension signed and it would obviously need to come at the right price. The Jazz need to look for positive moves off all kinds and shouldn't limit themselves to only the draft. If Turner is still a Pacer on deadline day and the Pacers have no other options, it would be a great time to get him for cheap. Turner could be a really good second draft type of guy, I'm interested to see what Hardy would do with him. He's overrated as a shooter, but much better in the paint. I think there's been a mismatch between the idea of Myles Turner and his actual skillset.

If it really only cost a first, hopefully heavily protected, and THT I would say absolutely take a flyer on him. But he isn't worth more than that in our current set-up. But I could see him adding a strong defensive depth to the team. I just really doubt they will part with him for that and I wouldn't risk our currently developing identity on a chance that costs us much more than that.

Tbh, they were offering to take 2 distant future firsts and Russ (who was seen more as baggage at that point) in exchange for Hield and Turner. Based on some, that trade is still on the table, albeit now that Russ is sort of reborn Lakers wont take it for sure.

I think he is already pretty cheap.
 
I don't hate it. Momma always told me - the only thing better than 3 stretch bigs is 4 stretch bigs.

That said, only if he's dirt cheap.
 
What about Turner and Hield? I do not like that Hield is on a 3-year contract but if we could dump GAY or do something like this

Turner
Hield
Duarte

For

Beasley
THT
Gay
NAW
Azubuike
A first-round pick (lottery protections)
A pick swap
a couple of seconds

I does give that Jazz a ton of guards just a spit ball
