It sounds like another veteran center is off the board for the Los Angeles Lakers as the Feb. 6 trade deadline draws nearer. NBA insider Marc Stein

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner has emerged as one of the NBA's most appealing role players. Turner has long been one of the league's best shot blockers. He's a solid rim protector and finisher, but also a high-level 3-point shooter.

One Pacers insider gives a case for them to trade Turner at next week's trade deadline. Dustin Dopirak of the IndyStar believes that a cap crunch is the best reason for them to deal him.
