Report: Brooklyn Nets ‘poked around’ Myles Turner trade

While Kevin Durant has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, many teams have been calling the front office with interest but reportedly the Nets had some interest in block specialist Myles Turner.

NBA journalist Austin Krell reported the Nets have, “poked around” on Myles Turner.

This indicates that the franchise had some interest for the undervalued defensive center. The trade wasn’t specified if it was for Durant or the other disgruntled All-Star Kyrie Irving; even though it is believed that the Nets want to ship Durant first to see what they receive before sending Irving away.

However now that the Boston Celtics have traded for efficient playmaker Malcom Brogdon, the Pacers will likely cling to their two young guards, Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield.

According to ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the former MVP has garnered interest from most of the league, with teams willing to ship their futures to Brooklyn.

“I’m told that more than half the league has already called Brooklyn about the possibility of acquiring Kevin Durant,” said Wojnarowski on NBA Today.
