As trade deadlines draw closer and more players are put on the shelves, sentiment in the trading market is getting higher and higher.
According to the latest reports, major rotations for their respective teams, including Wizards Harrell, Celtic Smart and Schroeder, have been put on the trade list.
Of course, the players who are most discussed in the trading market at the moment are the ones – Simmons, Turner, Sabonis and Grant.
However, with Turner's recent left-foot stress response, at least 2 weeks out of the game, other teams are slowly less interested in him.
According to mark Stan, the Lone Ranger had lost interest in Turner even before he was injured.
The reason is that the Lone Ranger's defense has improved recently, and the high-level data of defensive efficiency can even rank 4th in the league, and after Doncic's comeback, the Lone Ranger has achieved 7 wins and 1 loss, which is one of the best performing teams in the NBA during this time.
But to be reasonable, because the recent performance is good to give up the reason for the trade seems to be insufficient, after all, on the other hand, it can also be said that the Lone Ranger defense may return to its original form at any time, and if the goal is to win the championship, the Lone Ranger lineup is not perfect, and in the case of can, it must be traded upwards.
Turner averaged 12.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game this year, which is the current league's block king, not to mention what is running into, Turner's block ability is definitely a must in the league, no matter which team will not be affected.
At present, the lone ranger's inner line is relying on Porzingis in the top, Boshin can average 20.2 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game this year, although the performance is much better than before, but to put it badly, you really don't know when Boshin will be plagued by injuries again.
If you can get Turner, first, you can say that Bo Shen is liberated from the inside line to reduce the risk of injury, and second, it is equivalent to a double insurance, whether it is an injury or a regular rotation, it will not suddenly no one can top it.
And according to BR reporter Pinkus, the Pacers have also recently been looking for players who can increase the team's shooting ability, based on the Pacers' current head coach is the former coach carlisle of the Lone Ranger, the Lone Ranger player may be more favored.
If you can get Turner with Hardaway as the main body and add some scraps, wouldn't that be an arrow?
Taking a step back, if the Lone Ranger does not fight for itself, other teams will also withdraw one after another, in case the Lakers finally successfully pick up the leak, will it not be more passive to come and go back to the Lone Ranger?
After all, it's the Lakers, and every time they can quietly get all kinds of seemingly impossible deals, just in case.
