Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Myles Turner
Indiana Pacers Receive: G/F Joe Harris, F Nicolas Claxton, No. 44 pick and No. 49 pick
Myles Turner would be the big man going to the Brooklyn Nets in this NBA trade scenario. He has turned into one of the best defenders in the NBA.
Turner led the league in blocks per game this season and is a true rim-protector — making it now two seasons in his NBA career that he has finished as No. 1 in blocks per game.
The Nets would add him to a star-studded lineup at the center position. In order to land James Harden in the four-team blockbuster trade, Brooklyn had to include Jarrett Allen. A trade for Myles Turner would help fill that void.
Joe Harris would lead the way going to Indiana. He completely disappeared during the postseason and struggled from three-point range. Regardless, the Pacers need to become more perimeter oriented.

Nicolas Claxton and two-second round picks in the upcoming NBA draft would also be involved in the package. This would help the Pacers to add a bit of front court depth if they aren’t ready to turn to Goga Bitadze more.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this NBA trade scenario centered around Myles Turner would impact both the Brooklyn Nets and Indiana Pacers.
