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.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.
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.
