The celtics are rumored to have interest in Evan Turner along with Minnesota. So maybe we can get him and use him in a Love trade (a guy can dream can't he  8) ). Or if not he'd still be a great asset, provide depth and scoring at SF and if Green is traded we would still have Turner as a solid SF in the roster to build with. I don't have much faith with Wallace potentially starting at SF if Green goes this season or in the future. Turner can mature here with the culture change and with Brad Stevens, and lets be honest, locker room arguments happen with every NBA team and he wasn't the only one involved in the locker room arguments involving the Pacers, many other players were. Turner was just pulled along.

The celtics may stand pat the rest of the offseason, but if they do make another move, rumors as of now have it that it would most probably be with Evan Turner, unless Ainge surprises us and works more magic. What do you guys think?

I'm more and more liking the idea of getting something for Jeff Green in a trade and replacing him with Evan Turner. I'm just wondering what team would be in for Green

I am from Ohio but I worrying about getting too many Buckeyes on the team.  Turner and Sully and some cry for Oden.   Turner has always killed the C's but the rest of the league not so much.  We are not going anywhere next year in terms of contention play the kids.

True, I only say take Turner IF Green is getting traded though. I don't trust Wallace taking Green's spot lol.

Well, they usually let the kids play around on the parquet during halftime, don't they?

Maybe go after Turner and Ekpe Udoh? If Davis was that cheap, surely Udoh is really cheap.

That's the kind of players I had in mind when I asked about if Turner could be in a sign and trade.  Get two young, athletic kids that can help on defense.  We have too many players on our roster.  Maybe Philly would take Thornton/Bass/Anthony off our hands so they can get up to a minimum salary?  Or we just trade 5 players for Amare.

I hate Evan Turner with a passion.

Almost as much as Avery Bradley.

I'm wondering what they're giving up. They already doubled down on Quincey Poindexter.

Under no circumstances do I want us to go after him.

We need to try to add a defensive center like Udoh or a healthy Okafor
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

With Ed Davis and Jason Smith signing with LAL and NYK respectively, i agree, Udoh and Okafor should be our target. If Davis was that cheap then either one should be really cheap.
