It's farewell to Evan Turner.

Is Evan Turner really that bad? The few times I saw him play during the 76ers playoff run, he looked pretty promising to me. Well I mean, if Gerald Green could become a respectable starter, surely Turner can too over time?

...can we sign Turner? Seems like he could fit Steven's offense.

Very good backup SG. Solid starter.

$4.5 million a year is a bit rich if only playing on keeping him in bench role but would be a fair figure if starting and playing 30+mpg. Not too far off where I would value him though. More a 3 year $12 million type ideally. Pacers gave extra year (4yr $16mil) and an extra half a million per season. Maybe overpaid a little but only by small amount. If contracts are indeed going up because of new TV deal in 2 years time, then this seems looks like good business.

I would think that CJ Miles would make a nice starting SG in Indiana if they could get an upgrade at PG. More of a playmaking PG. Paul George as secondary ball-handling. CJ Miles with his size & athleticism and solid defense would fit in well with Pacers team defense. His outside shooting and floor spacing would be very good for them. That is if Lance Stephenson leaves and Indy find better PG to make it work.

How confusing for the Indy reporters, announcers, etc....

C.J. Watson Guard  AND C.J. Miles Guard

Let's just give the Pacers the Award for most guys named C.J. in the NBA...

kinda reminds me of when the Celtics had Allan Ray AND Ray Allen

My fantasy teams are very pleased by Miles going to a team that looks like they'll play him.

I imagine he'll get time backing up George and Stephenson (or maybe even starting if Lance gets a outta sight offer from LAL or CHA).
