Player the Warriors should trade Wiseman for: Myles Turner

Another name that’s brewed for a while is Myles Turner.

Turner is more of a 3-and-D big man, but he’s the most talented rim protector on this list. Having been on the Pacers since they drafted him back in 2015, Turner had led the league in blocks twice, averaging 2.7 per game his fourth year in the league and 3.4 per game last season.

Having improved his efficiency in each of the last 3 seasons as well, Turner eclipsed 50% from the field for just the second time in his career this season while also knocking down 1.5 triples per game.

His rebounding figures are weak a 6-foot-11 center, but with Green in the paint as well, that should be an issue.

Turner would give the Warriors far greater options in the frontcourt and also a formidable weapon against players like Rudy Gobert and Deandre Ayton who will likely be in the Warriors’ quest for another championship for years to come.

Turner is a bit pricier as he’s owed $18 million next season, but if it’s a fit the Warriors believe in, it would make a ton of sense to trade Wiseman for him.
