1. Myles Turner

Phoenix have targeted Myles Turner in the past, even when they still had Deandre Ayton on the roster. They have another shot this season at possibly getting the Indiana Pacers center in a three-team trade involving the New York Knicks.

The Suns will have to give up Nurkic to the Knicks. The Pacers will give Turner to the Suns and get Mitchell Robinson from New York and Nassir Little from Phoenix.

Next. Could the Suns trade for this Pistons guard?. dark

The 6-foot-11 center is the best option for the team right now. Turner is a complete center, capable of stretching the defense and protecting the paint at an elite level. The center is averaging 16.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks for Indiana this season.
