3 starting center options for the Utah Jazz in 2022
By Nathan Smith
1. The Utah Jazz should do all they can to trade for Myles Turner
It seems that rumours of Myles Turner being moved have been circling the Indiana Pacers for nearly two years at this point, and after moving Malcolm Brogdon earlier this off-season, it’s becoming increasingly likely that No. 33 is on the way out as well. While Turner can be an absolute beast on the defensive end at times, it’s his ability to stretch the floor that will interest Utah, as this would create more spacing around Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanovic, and would give this team an element that they’ve not had for years.

Given the amount of picks the Jazz got for Rudy Gobert, as well as the young players they can include in the deal, this one seems like a no-brainer, as they could sign Turner to a long term deal, and begin to build this team around Mitchell and Turner, which could help as they look to stay afloat in the Western Conference. Turner’s services won’t come cheap, as the Pacers have been incredibly patient with dealing him, but if Utah believe he can be a big part of a team that can retool and compete in the Western Conference, then don’t be surprised to see them do all they can to make this trade happen.
