Rumor has it that Evan Turner may be on his way out of Philly. How about Bradley, Bogans and a pick for Turner?

Are you willing to match any offer he receives as a restricted free agent?

If he continues to play like that, then yes sure I am.

I would even consider giving up Green for Turner.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Turner is having a heck of a year for the Sixers whereas Jeff Green is…Jeff Green.

Now you see him, now you don't.

Turner's play this season is suspicious IMHO; He has been playing with the sixers for several seasons and it is only now that he has improved; Is it because it is now contract negotiation time?

Jeff Green has a 15.3 eff. rating compared to Turner's 16.5.  Not a HUGE difference IMHO.

Can he play SG?  His three pt. percentage seems very poor.

Putting up good numbers on a bad team, still can't shoot, not really feeling it sorry.

Nevermind.  He was a SG at Ohio State for three years.  I forgot.  He sure could should a nice percentage on the college three though!!!  He has really been up and down from long range in his 3+ pro seasons.  Very inconsistent.  I do love his passion and defense and his length at the SG position.

I might be wrong here, and I don't want to check to see on my phone cuz it is a PITA, but his 3pt shooting % has a lot to do with poor shot selection. He's good from some spots, poor from others, but he shoots from both at equal volumes.

Honestly, I love a comeback story, but he's not a horse Id want to hitch the rebuild to. Let someone else take the risk and credit/hit with the consequences.

For people who like WS48 more than PER, Green leads that .108 to .061

He is one of those guys who always does well vs. us.  Rest of the league not so much.

What is WS48?

It's one of the stats found on basketball-reference.com.  They define it in their glossary as:

Win Shares Per 48 Minutes (available since the 1951-52 season in the NBA); an estimate of the number of wins contributed by the player per 48 minutes (league average is approximately 0.100).
