Minnesota Timberwolves Receive: C/F Myles Turner
Indiana Pacers Receive: G Malik Beasley, F Jaden McDaniels
This NBA trade scenario would be a rather simple scenario with no NBA Draft assets being involved. Myles Turner would be the lone player sent to the Minnesota Timberwolves while, on the other hand, the Indiana Pacers would land both Malik Beasley and Jaden McDaniels.
The general premise is that Indiana is going to have to be genuinely enticed by a potential trade package to move on from Myles Turner. He’s under contract through the 2022-23 season, so there’s no pressure to move on from him, even if some think that splitting up their frontcourt is the best idea.

With that being said, let’s take a look t how this NBA trade scenario centered around Myles Turner and see if it make sense for both the Indiana Pacers and Minnesota Timberwolves.
