The Indiana Pacers’ center Myles Turner might get traded to the New York Knicks this offseason. The Pacers have not been that great lately; they are struggling, and they are not likely to crack the code very soon. Myles is somebody who would love to play in the big market, and that is why he is linked with the likes of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Philadelphia Sixers, and the Golden State Warriors.
