Mavs out of Myles Turner sweepstakes?

Marc Stein: The Mavericks have been frequently linked to a trade pursuit of Indiana’s Myles Turner, but league sources say Dallas had already backed off on its interest even before Turner’s foot injury and with its team defense already flourishing at No. 5 overall in defensive efficiency

Trading for Myles Turner now means you’re still getting him for $18 million next season. What draft picks and/or young prospects is that worth to the Knicks?
They have Obi, Grimes and Quickley. Plus three first round picks in next two years. – 1:08 PM

Pacers announced Myles Turner has a stress reaction in his foot – a serious injury that could be a precursor to a stress fracture. Not an ideal time to trade for Myles at all. – 1:01 PM

Re: Myles Turner: A stress reaction is a precursor to a stress fracture. Stopping activity & treating any underlying contributing factors can allow natural remodeling to catch up & repair the injury site. Involved bone is key w/ metatarsal fractures the most common. – 12:55 PM

Myles Turner being hurt changes the trade equation considerably. You have to think about acquiring him for next year and beyond and whatever you get this year is a bonus of sorts. Assuming you get anything at all, given the nature of his injury. – 12:48 PM
