Myles Turner said that the Los Angeles Lakers should take a “very hard look” at trading for him on a recent episode of “The Woj Pod” with Adrian Wojnarowski.
“If I’m the Lakers, I take a very hard look at this with the position that you’re in. I know what I can provide for a team — my leadership, my shot-blocking, my 3-point ability and just my ability to make plays out there on the floor.
“And I take a very long look at it,” said Turner.
The Lakers reportedly considered trading Russell Westbrook and two first-round picks for Turner and Buddy Hield at the start of October.
Turner added that he understood the value of first-round picks.
“We all know picks are so valuable in this league, and someone like myself, I’m heading into the last year of my deal and you want to make sure you’re getting a return for your assets,” said Turner.
Turner is averaging 12.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game this season.
