Evan Turner: contract not extended

[Tr1boy]

questions

1) What does his next salary look like
2) Is he or can he be a bonafide go to guy
3) What kind of package could the Celtics offer to get him if the team is interested??

[Who]

MLE money -- probably need to pay a little more to pry him away from Philly though. Maybe $7 million per year.

[gar]

Nice would love to pair Turner with Rondo and Green

[hpantazo]

How about Bradley and one of our 1st rounders from the Nets or Clippers?

We can make a better estimation in a few weeks.  He's averaging 25pts in the first two games.

Why are people so enamoured with this guy?

He's simply just not that good IMO. No chance am I giving anything of value for him when you're going to have to pay him next year. Certainly not a 1st rounder. That's foolery

[KGs Knee]

Never mind, I see Philly just decided not to give him an extension, not pick up an option.  As a restricted FA, it probably won't be worth signing him.  Any reasonable offer will be matched.

Pass.

We are tanking to get new faces ........ He is not what this need needs at all.

may i ask what it is exactly that forms the basis for this conclusion? i am not questioning you or your conclusion about him. this is a real and honest question to find out more about turner.

if you gave more information it would help the discussion in this thread i think.

thanks.

I think the new ownership there would give him up for a mid first round pick around the trade deadline. They don't seem interested in paying E.Turner what he'll command in the open market. I don't think he is in their long term plans.

Not wild about a backcourt of E.Turner and R.Rondo though. Limited long distance shooting. Jeff Green isn't a great shooter either at SF. Puts a lot of pressure on the bigs to provide jump-shooting. The rebounding potential of Rondo (PG) and E.Turner (SG) would be incredible though.
