Myles Turner addresses trade rumors: 'You can't pay attention to outside noise'
After Sunday’s game, Turner spoke with The Athletic about what it’s like playing against teams like the Clippers and Lakers that may be interested in him. “Nothing changes,” Turner told The Athletic.”Just go out there and focus on getting wins for this team. That’s just where my focus lies. You can’t pay attention to outside noise … doesn’t change anything, bro. All I can do is go out there and play my game.”

NBA League Pass Game of the Day: Pacers at Lakers
Weird dynamic, with Indiana’s Myles Turner and Buddy Hield having been linked to L.A. in trade rumors for months. Is that deal still on the table? Because the Lakers (and Russell Westbrook) have actually been playing well lately. pic.twitter.com/3taJ3nZlwY – 5:26 PM

After a 2-10 start, the Lakers have rebounded to win five of their past six games.
With a matchup against Myles Turner and Buddy Hield on Monday, it’s time to check in on where LA is at and their new Dec. 15 target date to restart leaguewide trade talks:

POLL! Myles Turner, Buddy Hield played terribly against the Clippers in L.A. today. Do you think it was nerves ahead of Monday’s audition for the Lakers, or them merely saving the monster stats for a game that may actually shape their careers? AK @LockedOnLakers @lockedonpacers – 9:30 PM

Myles Turner tagged with his 3rd foul 34 seconds into the 2Q. Jackson replaces him, and they may need minutes from Bitadze and/or Johnson.
Pacers with 13a on 14FGs, but they fell behind via a LAC 16-2 run to close the 1Q. – 4:43 PM

Myles Turner is back on the floor. He was fouled by Marcus Morris Sr., and officials are reviewing if the foul took place before Jalen Smith’s made 3. – 4:29 PM

Myles Turner hasn’t played against the Clippers since 2019, missing all four meetings with Tyronn Lue as Clippers head coach.
Lue points out that Turner is shooting 40+ percent from 3 for first time in his career, along with career-highs in FG%, FT%, points and rebounds. pic.twitter.com/eCveUXMHPp – 3:53 PM

Only 6 teams have a better record than the Indiana Pacers despite this season starting with Myles Turner and Buddy Hield trade rumors.

With Andrew Nembhard (aka new Brogdon) out, second unit should be TJ McConnell, Bennedict Mathurin, James Johnson, Oshae Brissett, Isaiah Jackson. – 3:34 PM

More on this storyline
Turner also officially joined CAA Sports, changing his representation in the middle of a contract year. It is a similar midseason move made by former Clippers center Isaiah Hartenstein, who joined CAA Sports in the middle of last season before signing with the New York Knicks as a free agent this past offseason. Several current Clippers are with CAA Sports, including Turner’s former Pacers teammate George. But Turner downplayed the change as it relates to his focus on this season. “Just whatever is going to be the best fit for me,” Turner said of his new representation. “I just feel like I made the best decision for myself.” -via The Athletic / November 30, 2022
The Lakers decided that giving up both their 2027 and 2029 first-round picks — the only future first-round assets they have in their draft chest — was too steep a price to pay for a haul that wouldn’t indisputably propel them to contender status, sources said. Plus the Lakers reasoned, sources said, the same deal with the Pacers would still be there down the line should they reengage. With the Lakers (7-11) and Pacers (11-8) set to meet Monday (10:30 p.m. ET), here are five questions to answer as L.A. considers whether to deal or not to deal. -via ESPN / November 28, 2022
Marc Stein: Pacers C Myles Turner is leaving BDA Sports after two years of representation and is expected to switch to CAA, league sources say. Turner is in the last year of his contract and oft-billed as a trade candidate before the Feb. 9 trade deadline. -via Twitter @TheSteinLine / November 26, 2022
