NBA Trade Rumors: One ideal, realistic deadline target for every contender

LA Clippers

Trade target: Myles Turner, C, Indiana Pacers

The LA Clippers are an interesting potential contender in the Western Conference. They’re a team that won’t be taken seriously unless both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are healthy heading into the playoffs. It remains to be seen if that will end up being the case.

However, it would be wise for the Clippers to try and make an addition at the deadline. One name that the Clippers have been linked to is Myles Turner. Turner would add legitimacy to the team’s center position and add another consistent player that can score and defend. Another two-way player is something that nearly every team in the league would greatly embrace.

A trio of Kawhi, PG, and Turner would be one of the most interesting trios in the league. And if they could remain healthy, the Clippers would emerge as a real threat to win the wide-open Western Conference.
