I’ve always thought he’d be a target for the Spurs at some point tbh. This would obviously spell the end for Poeltl though.
Eh, I'd rather keep Poeltl, especially considering Turner is unrestricted after this season and will want way more than he's worth.
The Spurs should be able to extend Turner, so contract isn't the problem. The issue will be paying what Indy would see as the difference between Turner and Poeltl. I might pay 20 for the swap, but 9 would be absurd, especially if they aren't taking McDermott back (which they'd be able to do when the year rolls over). Unless they're bringing in a PF that needs space, it would be weird. Hopefully they don't expect Jakob and Myles to play together.
Why though?
I can't imagine they would.
He'd be an upgrade. Younger, I believe. Jakob corralled more rebounds last year (a significant jump in production for him generally) but Turner blocks more shots and is an outside threat. He's also not a charity case at the charity stripe.
I kind of doubt the interest is serious, though, and suspect it's due diligence and to drive the price up.
No thank you!!
they are literally the same age and other then outside shooting thats pretty much the only upgrade
It seems to me that Evan Massey throws a lot of stuff against the wall and it rarely sticks..
Jakob is older. And I said Turner blocks more shots and isn't terrible at the free throw line. So that's 0 fer 3 bro.
meh,Myles is basically guaranteed to have one game where he looks like an all-NBA guy and one game where he completely disappears
What’s up with the Spurs and rehabilitating players? I mean if healthy, he’ll be an obvious upgrade over Poeltl and still 26. It makes me wander if true, Spurs would push hard to move Poeltl and 20/25 or both to move up. Who are they targeting? Interesting…
Yep, I don't think there's anything here at all. I can't think of any major rumors he's reported that have turned out to be true.
ehhh
i pretty sure spurs dont want to resign jakob at what he's gonna want
big men and foot problems=oil and water
I wouldn't be concerned with being able to extend/re-sign him, I just don't see a trade that makes sense. Like the Spurs, they're in dire need of a PF though, so you know what that means? Time for Poeltl to the Hornets iteration 1042 . . .
Hornets receive: Poeltl, 25
Pacers receive: Washington Jr., Richardson (can reroute for more draft capital) 15 (M. Williams?)
Spurs receive: Turner
Of course, this would require the Hornets to prefer Poeltl to Turner (doubtful) and even then, it's likely not enough for the Pacers, but I wouldn't go beyond that.

Agree. I thought this forum decried him as full of crap in the past.
Still I’ve always like Turner.
If he can improve that 34% shooting from 3 maybe spurs can work with his offense
Turner is better than Jakob, maybe Richardson +25 +38 would be enough. With them shopping Turner is Duren their target at 6?
Great shot blocker,can hit the three. Not a good rebounder and has foot issues.Big contract coming up and a good modern day big. Still a role player we could use
Hopefully pick 20 is enough to get an Eason.
Murray/Davis/Devin/Eason/Turner. Tell me if Spurs still have the worst future in their division.
not bad
I doubt a mouse can find a hole on that wall
Would’ve been nice if that were Sochan instead of Eason
