Additional depth at the center position is a genuine area of need. Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes are yet to show they\u2019re reliable options for a potentially deep playoff run.<\/p>\n<p>As such, the Lakers may need to look at the trade market to upgrade their big-man depth. Myles Turner has consistently been cited as a potential target. His perimeter-based game and high-level rim-protection would fit perfectly next to Anthony Davis and LeBron James.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent article for ESPN, Bobby Marks laid out a three-team deal that could send Turner to Los Angeles. The trade proposal looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Los Angeles Lakers get:\u00a0<\/strong>Myles Turner<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indiana Pacers get:\u00a0<\/strong>Rui Hachimura and a 2029 top-five protected Lakers first-round pick<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toronto Raptors get:\u00a0<\/strong>Jalen Hood-Schifino and a 2029 second-round pick from Portland<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere is certainly a risk-reward with acquiring Turner,\u201d Marks explained. \u201cThe risk comes with the Lakers having one future first-round pick to trade. Turner is also a pending free agent and could leave this summer. (The Lakers can sign Turner and exceed the cap in the offseason.) But the reward is Turner can complement Davis. Turner is shooting a career-high 39.3% from 3 and averaging almost two blocks per game.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Turner has played in 42 games this season. The 28-year-old is averaging 15.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2 blocks per game.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s shooting 55.1% from two-point range and 39.3% from deep on 5.2 attempts per night. As a stretch-five, Turner would bolster the defense while providing the necessary spacing for the LeBron\/Davis tandem to operate at its peak.<\/p>\n<h2>Davis Wants Lakers to Add Another Big Man<\/h2>\n<p>During a Jan. 24 interview with\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania, Davis shared his belief that the Lakers need another big man.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI think we need another big,\u201d Davis told Charania. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve always been at my best when I\u2019ve been the 4, having a big out there. We know it worked when we won a championship with JaVale [McGee] and Dwight [Howard] at the 5 and I\u2019m at the 4.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Davis is at his best when playing next to another center. He was partnered with Dwight Howard the last time the Lakers won a championship.<\/p>\n<p>By having another center on the floor, Davis can be more aggressive on both sides of the court.<\/p>\n<p>The additional size would also limit opposing team\u2019s success around the rim.<\/p>\n<h2>Lakers Could Capitalize on Turner\u2019s Expiring Deal<\/h2>\n<p>Turner is in the final year of his\u00a0two-year $40 million deal.\u00a0He will become an unrestricted free agent this summer.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Athletic\u2019s Jovan Buha, speaking via his \u2018Buha\u2019s Block\u2019 podcast, the Indiana Pacers are still on the fence about meeting Turner\u2019s reported $30 million asking price.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s specifically just a basic contract situation of he is about to be an unrestricted free agent and he\u2019s going to want $30-plus million and I\u2019ve heard Indiana is not sure if they want to give him $30-plus million,\u201d Buha said. \u201cIf they don\u2019t, then from an asset management perspective, it makes sense to trade him and get something back for him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If the Pacers are unsure of whether to keep Turner, they may choose to maximize a return on his ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Marks\u2019 proposal would ensure the Pacers don\u2019t lose Turner for nothing later this year. In return, the Lakers would appease Davis and likely emerge as genuine contenders.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Toronto would also receive something to help facilitate the deal. Assuming Turner\u2019s time in Indiana is coming to a close, this proposal could make sense for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_6_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-6 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"CJiJmPvbnYsDFddfDwIdxkcTkw\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bold 3-Team Trade Proposal Lands Myles Turner With Lakers The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked with a string of big men in recent weeks.
