LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers are having a tough outing in the current season as the Lakers struggle near the bottom of the points table. As teams reach the business end of the season, the NBA trade deadline would likely light their eyes. Meanwhile, a lot of teams will probably try to stabilize their team from injuries and performance worries. Amidst all this, NBA fans are slapped with regular trade rumors involving stars like James Harden and Klay Thompson.

The NBA trade deadline is set on February 9, 2023. Fans could witness their favorite teams making cap spaces and discarding players during this period. However, yet another trade rumor involving an Indiana Pacers star left Lakers fans in a buzz. Fans took to Twitter to share their opinions on the trade rumor.

Will LeBron James and the Lakers seal the new trade rumor?

According to AHN Fire Digital, Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner could be traded out by the Pacers. According to the report, Turner has put forward contract extension talks with the Pacers and he would leave the Pacers if the extension talks go sideways. Markedly, the 26-year-old star has only represented the Pacers in his eight-season-long NBA career so far. He currently averages 13 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 464 games.

As a positive, the purple and gold side is currently on a three-game winning streak with promising performances from James.
