Myles Turner signed a new four-year, $80 million deal with the Indiana Pacers last summer, although the continued emergence of Domantas Sabonis has led to suggestions that the Pacers may be open to trading one of their young bigs.

And, according to a new report from Ian Begley of SNY, the Pacers have engaged in trade talks with a number of teams:

Teams inquired with Indiana about Myles Turner both before and after the NBA Draft. Multiple teams that had conversations with the Pacers about Turner came away with the impression that it would take an incredibly significant offer to land him.

During the 18-19 season, Turner averaged 13.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game. Indiana will need to receive a huge haul to part with the 23-year-old, although a deal could be made ahead of the trade deadline.
