The NBA trade deadline is on Thursday, February 6 at 3 p.m. ET, and rumors are circulating about big-name players. One of the top names is Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler, who is suspended indefinitely, and Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner, who has been in trade talks for years.
The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to Turner, especially after Anthony Davis’ injury. According to Bovada’s odds, the Lakers are the favorites to acquire Turner:
Los Angeles Lakers: -120
Sacramento Kings: +325
Dallas Mavericks: +600
Golden State Warriors: +600
Miami Heat: +650
Reports suggest that the Lakers have renewed interest in Turner, while prices for other players like Jonas Valanciunas and Nikola Vucevic are out of their range. Turner, who signed a two-year, $40.9 million extension in 2023, will be a free agent at the end of this season.
This season, Turner is averaging 15.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game, making him a valuable addition for any team, especially the Lakers.
