Lakers acquire Buddy Hield, Myles Turner
This is a trade that the Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to before and it wouldn’t be all that surprising if this is something that is revisited at some point before the NBA Trade Deadline – if the Lakers are interested in making a big deal.
And Buddy Hield and Myles Turner are two players that would fit right in with what the Lakers need. Hield is a really good-to-great shooter and Turner is a rim protector that the team could use next to Anthony Davis and in the middle of their defense.
I highly doubt that the Lakers would be able to pull off this deal by just trading one first-round pick. It will take two for the Pacers to accept this type of deal. Up until now, this deal hasn’t gotten done because the Lakers have been unwilling to do so.
Will that change over the course of the next couple of months? It remains to be seen.
