I think they would slide Turner to the 4. He plays more of a stretch 4 game on offense, then on defense you've got 2 guys who can protect the rim.
Interesting tidbit is Lopez's contract expires at the same time as Paul George. It lets PG know you're trying to get him some help, and if it doesn't work it frees up a lot of cap space after 2018 to re-sign PG and bring in another player. Any trade the Pacers make (or attempt to make) right now is to keep PG happy.
