While it's unclear if either player will be available before Feb. 6's NBA trade deadline, Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner and Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie have drawn interest from opposing teams.

Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reported the roster compositions in Indiana and Brooklyn could lead to the teams exploring the trade market.

Turner and Domantas Sabonis have learned to play next to one another but remain an awkward long-term fit for the Pacers. Dinwiddie has been a borderline All-Star this season but has seen his scoring opportunities dwindle after Kyrie Irving returned to the lineup.

Turner is a borderline ideal modern 5 with the ability to protect the rim, switch on defense and stretch the floor on the offensive end. He's also the Pacers' fifth-leading scorer at the moment and may drop to sixth when Victor Oladipo returns. Teams could look at the Turner-Sabonis partnership and wonder if Turner has another level to his game with an expanded role.

Dinwiddie has already shown what he can do with a starter's workload, putting up averages of 21.8 points, 6.4 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game this season. He is already outplaying the three-year, $34.4 million contract he signed with the Nets in December 2018 but has shifted to a more off-ball role with Irving back. It's fair to wonder if Brooklyn is better off exploring the market for Dinwiddie for a player who better fits next to Irving and Kevin Durant in 2020-21.

The Pacers and Nets are both in the midst of the playoff race, so any swap would have to include a player capable of helping them win now. Indiana would need both a wing and a big who could soak up some of Turner's minutes. Brooklyn could use help on the defensive perimeter while also keeping its guard depth.

Barring something unforeseen, Turner and Dinwiddie appear far more likely to move during the offseason than in February.
