Myles Turner's name is generating trade buzz again, but that doesn't feel like the move for Indiana to make.

Yes, it could be tricky to re-sign the 28-year-old this summer, but trading him now feels directly opposed to the Pacers' aggressive addition of Pascal Siakam last season. It would be a strange step back from an ascending squad that reached the conference finals last season and holds a top-six seed in the East standings.

Indiana should try to keep pushing forward, particularly with a potentially perfect fit like Johnson seemingly waiting for someone to snatch him up.

The Pacers need to ramp up their three-point volume (20th in makes), and Johnson might be the best shooter on the market. If they could get a deal done without giving up promising prospect Jarace Walker, that's a gamble worth taking.
