Myles Turner is one of the best defensive big men in the game, well-known for his shot-blocking ability. He is also a solid floor spacer offensively and fits into a number of offenses around the NBA. As of right now, Myles Turner is averaging 17.5 PPG, 7.9 RPG, and 2.4 BPG for the Indiana Pacers while shooting 39.1% from beyond the arc.
There is no doubt that Myles Turner has been featured in a number of trade rumors this year, with many reports linking him to teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers. However, it seems as though Myles Turner will not be going anywhere, as he and the Indiana Pacers have recently agreed on a two-year, $60 million contract extension.

There is no doubt that this is a good move for the Indiana Pacers. They will be retaining one of the best two-way big men in the league, and he is already a good fit with franchise cornerstone Tyrese Haliburton. Myles Turner still has untapped potential, and perhaps we’ll see him grow even further in the coming years.
For the teams that have been circling around Myles Turner, this is an unfortunate update. It is clear that they will have to look elsewhere to get a solid big man. Some recent reports have suggested that Andre Drummond could be on the trade market, so that could be an option.
Hopefully, we see Myles Turner continue to thrive with the Indiana Pacers. He is having one of the best years of his career on both ends of the floor, and there’s a chance that he will become an All-Star level player in the future.
