Washington Wizards: 3 trades to get Bradley Beal more help
By Jack Simone
Trades to help the Washington Wizards playoff push: Myles Turner
This is another trade that would see the Wizards receive a quality big man. Having a guy like Myles Turner would help improve their play on both ends of the floor.
Washington is a mid-tier defensive team at the moment. Adding a player who averages nearly three blocks per game would definitely help with that statistic.
In addition, Turner is a center that can space the floor super well. He takes over four threes per game, and while he may be having a down year, normally shoots around league average from distance.
As for Torrey Craig, he would just be a solid backup wing to bring off the bench. He provides quality 3&D minutes whenever he steps onto the court.
Meanwhile, the Pacers would be changing things up a bit. They are off to a super rocky start and change seems imminent in Indiana right now.
The idea of splitting up Turner and Domantas Sabonis has been discussed for years now. This would give them a floor-spacing power forward to put next to Sabonis, who could transition to the center position.
Indiana would also get a nice young piece in Corey Kispert, as well as some draft capital. It might not make them a title contender, but it would keep them competitive right now while also making a small investment for the future.
The Wizards would get a solid center to pair alongside Bradley Beal, as well as some bench depth. Not a bad trade considering how well they have been playing lately.
