Still, the Pacers need to do their due diligence just in case. According to NBA Insider Marc Stein, the price for any team trying to trade for Turner is not going to be cheap. The Pacers would only consider trading Turner if they can get a starting-caliber center back in return. That is what why a trade for Turner remains unlikely.

Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers have managed to steady the ship following a turbulent early season. Now, their focus at the trade deadline should be on solidifying their current campaign. One avenue the Pacers might explore is trading a player or two to offload salary if a willing buyer emerges.
