After trading Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, Bojan Bogdanovic and Patrick Beverley this offseason, Utah looked like a firesale waiting to happen.

Instead, the Jazz have posted the NBA's third-best record and fifth-highest net rating (plus-5.3) through the first three weeks, leaving the franchise in an awkward position.

While tanking the season for a top draft pick was the goal, should Utah keep riding this wave and actually look to build on what's become a deep and talented young roster?

If so, this could be a surprising new home for Turner.

The 26-year-old is averaging 17.9 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.1 blocks in his 28.3 minutes and would help anchor a defense that's stayed remarkably similar to last year's version with Gobert. A starting lineup of Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen, Kelly Olynyk and Turner is huge and brings a nice balance of scoring, playmaking, outside shooting and now shot-blocking.

Putting a lottery protection on their own first-rounder ensures that if the Jazz suffer some injuries or fall back into tank mode that they keep their pick as well.

For the Pacers, this is a chance at possibly adding a fourth first-round pick in 2023 to assist with their rebuild and keep Utah away from the lottery if possible.

Horton-Tucker is still just 21 and can be a foundation piece moving forward, while Kessler, the 22nd overall pick in the 2022 draft, gives Indiana a young, defensive-minded center with Turner gone.
