Evan Turner agrees to 4-year, $70M deal with Portland

Is the DR Frankenstein that created the 70 mil ET

Without him to pull the strings

I see a failure in the works

I swear no player gets any credit. All to Stevens. Lol. We just wasted 2 years of smart's development for NOTHING.

Nah I think Smart has learnt a lot from Turner. Also Turner was a key part of getting us to the playoffs. That experience and the experience of the playoffs themselves will have helped Smart immensely

Good for both parties.  Turner is a good player and did an amazing job here turning his career around, but he is still very limited.  Excited to see what Smart, Jaylen and whoever else we add can do.

I feel relieved more than anything.  One question mark answered.

I actually feel sad. That's the first time since PP & KG left.
I never thought I was so attached to him.
Happy he got a nice contract on a nice team. Well deserved.

Obviously the man that offered that contract never READ a Celtics game day blog  ....LOL ..

Congrats to E.Turner.  He played well with the C's and was a solid 6th man. I did, however, question whether ET hurt some of younger players development...in particular Marcus Smart.  This is clearly an opportunity for the young guys (Smart, Brown, and Rozier) to step up and take over the second team ball handling duties.

Thanks for the play, ET, enjoyed your comeback!   Congrats!

I'll never get used to the money these guys make.  What's the ceiling?

Thanks for your service ET

nice player off the bench that would have been nice to retain but for that kind of money, godspeed Evan Turner.  enjoy life in Portland.

[PAOBoston]

Thanks for the memories. Happy he was able to resurrect his career and get a nice pay day.

[Rosco917]

18+ million a year for Evan Turner is insane. Will he even start on that team?

But, congrats to ET, a good guy.

There is something wrong with it.  If I made that amount I would give a huge portion of it away.  Most of them are ****es for not doing so. Wealth is not determined by monetary things.  It's what you do with it.  Money is a currency.  It does not mean they are rich.

[BitterJim]

He should give half of that to Brad, he brought him from a fringe NBA player to almost $19 million a year

Rich people give much larger percentages of their income to charity than us. Just because he doesn't give 90% of it away to live like us doesn't make him a bad guy.
