The Los Angeles Lakers have been associated with every single center tradeable center in the league and even a few that are decidedly not available. This was true long before Anthony Davis voiced his opinion on the matter.
Most recently, Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner has taken his turn on the Lakers trade carousel. Bovada recently gave the Lakers the best odds of landing the 10-season veteran.

The Athletic’s Lakers Beat reporter, Jovan Buha recently wrote of Turner; “If you were designing a big man to complement Davis, Turner would be about as close as it gets.” “..Turner was nearly a Laker ahead of the 2022-23 season when the LA was close with Indiana on a Russell Westbrook for Turner and Buddy Hield swap. The Lakers have long coveted him.”
Pacers Not Interested In Trading Myles Turner To Los Angeles Lakers

But the latest reporting via Marc Stein takes it all off the table.
“The Pacers’ phones are undeniably ringing with interest in Myles Turner. That was inevitable with Turner just months away from unrestricted free agency now. Yet the prevailing leaguewide sense, one week out from the trade buzzer, is that the Pacers do not want to trade Turner. There is a strong belief among some league personnel that Indiana would need to see proposals that return a starting-level center to even consider the notion.”
The compensation is not only too rich for the Lakers, but some reports seem to imply the Lakers are looking to the future, rather than packing the paint for what remains of LeBron James’s time with the team. This makes a Turner trade nearly impossible and certainly implausible.
