This NBA off-season is one of the very important parts for LeBron James and the Lakers. Likewise, they have their targets all set. It is heavily known that Kyrie Irving is the top target for the purple and gold to sign. However, KAI isn’t the only player who can make the purple and gold rise back to glory. An Indiana Pacers star is open to making a trip out to Los Angeles for the coming season.

The Pacers have been on a journey to rebuild ever since they traded away their All-Star, Domantas Sabonis. However, it wasn’t supposed to be him. According to the reports, Myles Turner was expecting to be packaged instead of Sabonis. The shot-blocking machine has been wanting to move away for the past 2 years.

With the Lakers looking to get back to the top, they have options in front of them. According to a close source to Turner, the big man from Indiana is willing to join the Lake Show for the coming season.
