Potential suitors for Myles Turner: Clippers, Knicks, DeMar DeRozan open to a contract extension with Bulls & more…

For around two years, Myles Turner has been in the NBA rumor mill. Before the Feb. 9 deadline, rumors suggest that the LA Clippers and New York Knicks are among his potential suitors.

DeMar DeRozan is no stranger to trade rumors this season.

The Chicago Bulls’ slow start to the season contributed to the possibility of DeRozan getting traded. It seems that DeRozan and the Bulls could negotiate an extension in the summer.

3 NBA teams emerge as suitors for Myles Turner

Myles is currently having the best season of his NBA career alongside Tyrese Haliburton. He is averaging 17.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 2.3 blocks per game. Reports say that Turner is open to signing a new contract with the Indiana Pacers.

He has no problem with the $133 million contract, similar to what the Pacers offered DeAndre Ayton. As mentioned, the LA Clippers, New York Knicks, and Toronto Raptors are potential suitors for Turner.

Whereas, the NBA teams that have been linked to Turner over the past couple of years, such as the LA Lakers, Charlotte Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, and New Orleans Pelicans, are no longer interested.

DeMar DeRozan open to a contract extension with the Bulls

DeMar DeRozan had an amazing debut campaign for the Chicago Bulls. He continued to perform for the Bulls this season, averaging 26.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.0 steals. In the next season, DeRozan will also enter the final year of his contract. 

Reports state that DeRozan will seek an extension. But there is a question: are the Bulls interested in continuing their partnership or not?

Indiana Pacers want to add John Collins

Another player who has been in the NBA rumor mill for the past two seasons is John Collins. According to reports, the Indiana Pacers are one of the teams interested in Collins. However, he has a contract until the 2024–25 season, with a player option for the next year.

The Pacers have three first-round picks this year and could attach a couple of them to Chris Duarte.
