Why each team does it
For the Warriors:
Myles Turner: Offers elite rim protection and three-point shooting, which is a perfect fit for the Warriors’ system. Turner would help solidify their defense while still spacing the floor on offense.
Benedict Mathurin: A dynamic, young scorer with excellent potential. Mathurin would add depth to the Warriors’ bench and could develop into a key contributor, complementing the Warriors’ offensive firepower.
Championship Push: With Turner’s defensive presence and Mathurin’s scoring, the Warriors bolster their lineup and make a strong push for the title.
For the Pacers:
Andrew Wiggins: A proven two-way player who fits well with the Pacers’ core, offering both scoring and defense. He could be a key veteran presence on the team.
Jonathan Kuminga: Provides a high ceiling with his athleticism and versatility, making him a promising future piece for the Pacers.
Future Assets: The first-round picks give the Pacers valuable flexibility to continue building their team or use in future trades.
