Warriors trade for Pacers’ Myles Turner in proposal

We’ve been living in the era of Golden State Warriors basketball for a while now. They have been the NBA’s most recent dynasty. It was a pleasure to watch it unfold. The Warriors built a champion by design. Then they added Kevin Durant to the equation. In the end, they won a title after Durant left.
That was only two years ago. With that in mind, the Warriors could be champions again next season. They must be respected as title contenders.
That said, they are of the dark horse variety. As it stands, the Warriors are no one’s favorite to win the NBA title next year. Could that change if they acquire Myles Turner from the Indiana Pacers?
The trade proposal
Indiana Pacers Received: G/F Andrew Wiggins, 2026 First-Round Pick (GSW)Golden State Warriors Received: C Myles Turner
Of course, this isn’t Myles Turner’s first trading proposal to make its way onto the Internet. That’s an understatement. Turner has been a trade rumor for almost as long as the Warriors have been a dynasty. Yet he is still in Indiana.
In fact, the Pacers extended him this season. That may have been a commitment to Turner. On the other hand, we wouldn’t be so sure about that.

The Pacers could have extended Turner to increase his trade value. They would never get such a package for him when he was about to become free agency. Should they accept it now?
Why the Indiana Pacers make the deal
For the Pacers, it’s about choosing a direction. This is not the one many expect to take. The Pacers have been heavily associated with Pascal Siakam lately. In any case, fans expect them to take a step forward next season.
They could do that. At the same time, this team has an intriguing young core. They just drafted Jarace Walker and the Pacers have Tyrese Haliburton and Benedict Mathurin on the roster.

Wiggins could help them stay somewhat relevant. Throw in an unprotected first-round pick and the Pacers may not be able to reject this deal. Should the warriors?
Why the Golden State Warriors make the deal
Losing Wiggins stitches. We are well aware of that. He is the best pure 3-and-D wing in this team. At the same time, the Warriors have the pieces to endure his absence. Klay Thompson can slide to the 3, and Gary Payton III is also a viable option.
Besides, the Warriors won’t need Wiggins’ perimeter defenses as much if they make this trade. After all, they have Myles Turner protecting the rim.

Imagine him paired with Draymond Green. Green’s versatility will make Turner’s life easier. All he has to do is function as a stationary edge protector, and the Warriors should have one of the best defenses in the NBA. Meanwhile, having a floor spacer like Turner on the 5 could unlock their attack. It could even be the key to expanding their dynasty.
