Toronto Raptors Receive: C Myles Turner, F Torrey Craig
Indiana Pacers Receive: F Precious Achiuwa, G Malachi Flynn, G Goran Dragic, 2023 First-Round Pick, 2025 First-Round Pick
This trade would see the Toronto Raptors flip a couple of quality young assets into one.
Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers would reset a bit, like they are rumored to be doing already. The Raptors would get a piece to help them compete now while the Pacers would do the opposite.
This season, Myles Turner is putting up solid numbers. He’s averaging 13.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 2.8 blocks a night while shooting 51.6 percent from the field and 33.9 percent from deep. Turner is currently leading the league in blocks, a feat which he has accomplished twice before.
Precious Achiuwa is getting more opportunities than ever with the Raptors this year. The second-year big man is averaging 7.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.4 assists while shooting 40.6 percent from the field and 25.7 percent from three-point land.

Malachi Flynn, on the other hand, has seen his minutes drop significantly in his second year. He’s playing less than nin minutes a game and averaging only 2.9 points. However, Flynn showed some real potential during his rookie season last year.
So, with all that in mind, why would both teams be interested in this trade? Would the Pacers be getting enough in return for Turner? Would the Raptors be willing to sacrifice some depth and picks for one single player?
