Over the last 12 months, perhaps no player has been linked more to the Lakers in trade discussions than Myles Turner. Through various machinations of trades that have included Malcolm Brogdon and Buddy Hield packaged with him, Turner has been the mainstay as a target for the Lakers.
As it stands, one of the few remaining deals on the table involves Turner, which makes Monday’s appearance on The Woj Pod by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN all the odder for the big man. Turner directly addressed the rumors and basically made the case for the Lakers to trade for him (emphasis mine).
