A multi-team Myles Turner blockbuster the Boston Celtics should consider

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, folks, and, while many may be under the impression that we’re talking about Christmas, Boston Celtics fans are almost certainly aware of what we’re referencing — NBA trade season.

Though it appeared the shamrocks made a plethora of necessary moves in the offseason to better their talent pool for a resurgence season in 2021-22, through the first 31 games played it seems as though their struggles from last year have simply rolled right along into this one, which has us believing that more moves are, in fact, needed should they wish to turn their campaign around.

Over the past several weeks, we, along with countless other media platforms, have been pushing out trade ideas that Boston may wish to consider between now and February’s deadline, and, arguably our favorite ones revolve around Indiana Pacers center, Myles Turner, heading to Eastern Massachusetts.

Viewed as a perfect fit alongside the likes of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the 25-year-old could prove to be that missing piece for the rotation and, to us, could help formulate the league’s next menacing trio of teammates, which is why this multi-team blockbuster involving the Pacers, Dallas Mavericks, and Boston Celtics should be strongly considered.

Obviously, from what you can see above this proposed trade idea is quite a doozy, so let’s dive right into why each team should consider accepting it, starting with the Pacers.

Why the Indiana Pacers would do it

Just a few weeks back it was reported that Indiana’s front office was ‘open’ to the idea of a rebuild, or re-tooling if you will (subscription required), with guys like Caris LeVert, Domantas Sabonis, and Turner being viewed as gettable commodities.

Should these rumblings actually become a reality, and the front office opts to shop their core, obviously it would steer the franchise into a full-fledged rebuilding mode, and what do rebuilding teams love?

Youthful players and draft capital.

Here, we see them acquiring just that, as they bring on a package headlined by the likes of Jalen Brunson, Robert Williams, Aaron Nesmith, and Romeo Langford along with a few others and a future first-round pick.

Brunson, a former second-round selection who has only managed to improve every season he’s been in the league, finds himself truly exploding now in year four as he’s boasting stellar per-game averages of 14.9 points, 5.2 assists, and 3.9 rebounds on just shy of 50 percent shooting from the floor.

He’d easily be viewed as a key building block to have serve as the team’s starting guard of the future — is putting up 20.1 points, 7.2 assists, and 5.3 rebounds on 49 percent shooting from the field when serving in such a role this season — while Williams, still just 24-years-old, could be viewed as their big man of the future, as he, like Brunson, also finds himself just getting better every year he’s been in the league and, per 75 possessions this season, is putting up 12.5 points, 11 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks on 73 percent shooting from the floor.

Alongside these two trade headliners (as far as actual players go, that is), while they have not proven to be franchise building blocks as of yet with the Boston Celtics, guys like Aaron Nesmith and Romeo Langford could both be viewed as intriguing commodities for a team in the early stages of a rebuild, as they are still so young (each still just 22-years-old) and still can develop with the proper guidance.

Why the Dallas Mavericks would do it

As for the Dallas Mavericks, they bring on another star to help formulate a menacing Big-3 with Kristaps Porzingis, Domantas Sabonis, and, the ring leader of it all, Luka Doncic.

Though he may not be a huge plus on the defensive side of the ball, bringing on the 2x All-Star would only help bolster the team’s scoring prowess that, at the moment, is unfairly reliant on Doncic.

Sabonis is one of the best interior offensive weapons in the game today who, with his impressive set of skills, can either go about and dominate in the points department with his post moves or help get fellow teammates clean looks with his criminally-underrated passing skills.

While the Pacers may not be having such a great season turnout thus far, the power forward’s production has once again been stellar finds himself putting up high-end all-around averages of 18.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game on 59 percent shooting from the floor.

This level of production on the interior joining forces with the in-and-out style of games like the ones Doncic and Porzingis have could prove to be an absolutely lethal tandem for opposing defenses to go up against.

On top of this, however, they also get the non-guaranteed contract of Juan Hernangomez (likely to be dumped in the offseason) and, more importantly, the offensive spark-plug Dennis Schroder who could step in and fill the void within the backcourt left behind by Brunson.

Currently on the year, the ninth-year veteran finds himself serving as a key-cog within the rotation for the shamrocks, as he’s posting solid per-game averages of 16.8 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game. With him in tow along with Sabonis, the Mavs wind up landing two more much-needed scorers to help ease the offensive burden for Doncic.

Why the Boston Celtics would do it

And of course, finally, we see a package headlined by Myles Turner heading to the Boston Celtics to help formulate arguably an underrated Big-3 including the center, Tatum, and Brown.

As we mentioned earlier, with a game that seemingly would complement the Jays perfectly, Turner would provide virtually everything Robert Williams does for the ball club, but has proven to be a bit more consistent and can even help space the floor with his shooting touch (career 35 percent 3-point shooter) which would be an absolute blessing for Boston’s offense moving forward.

On the season, the 25-year-old finds himself posting per-game averages of 12.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, and a league-leading 2.9 blocks on 51 percent shooting from the floor and 36 percent shooting from deep.

Along with him, however, we also see the Boston Celtics bringing on the likes of Reggie Bullock and Dorian Finney-Smith from Dallas, both of whom would be able to help round out the team’s wing rotation behind the Jays while also helping the efficiency of their second-unit scoring punch, specifically with Finney-Smith who, over the past three years, has been boasting per-75 possession averages of 11.5 points and 6.4 boards on 46.5 percent shooting from the floor and 38 percent shooting from deep.

Overall, this multi-team deal seems to have significant advantages for all parties involved and should strongly be considered.
