Two first-rounders are what it is going to take to get Turner/Hield

There is always a price to get something, always. For the Lakers, they have found that out very quickly involving the Pacers and some of their players. Los Angeles has been in contact with Indiana about Myles Turner and Buddy Hield; mainly Hield, ever since pulling out of the Hield trade and trading for Russell Westbrook.

The original deal was the Lakers sending Russell Westbrook and a first-round pick over to the Pacers for Myles Turner, Buddy Hield, and other assets. However, those talks are dead and that trade offer may be dead forever.

The Pacers would consider picking back up trade talks with the Lakers, but at a price. Throw in another first-rounder and Indy’s front office will be engaging again. That is the price the LakeShow will have to pay to have negotiating talks for Hield and Turner.

The Lakers have been actively pursuing Kyrie Irving (Brooklyn Nets) and Buddy Hield (Indiana Pacers) this offseason.
