Evan Turner

[Rastapopoulos]

Also, the Bucks are rumored to be after DeAndre Jordan. If they get him, that would mean they might do this.

seeing what the Bucks D did to us last night, plus having DJ on the back line, would be scary.

Way too early in the season and a tiny data set to work from, but it's still fun.

Turner has an 18.6 PER, is averaging 16/3.2/5.2 per 36, and is shooting .429 from 3pt and .519 overall.

It would be huge if this holds up through 20 games and beyond.

22 games in, his PER is 8.5. No need to list the other stats...

I literally can’t think of a trade that would rid portland of Evan Turner. Obviously there would be one out there but damn they’ll be getting garbage back.

 

[Blazinaway]

had a little "hope" early on but he's been totally BRUTAL recently, hard to believe he' earning 17 mil per - what a friggin joke

 

[Natebishop3]

I think we can be sure that this was a bad signing at this point.

Jesus, this post didn’t age well and it’s only been two months

Turner is pure trash.

Lakers do Deng for Turner.

The one player on the planet we shouldn't trade Turner for unless he came with Randle.

Sure wish we could amnesty him. Not to wish injury on anyone, but medical retirement is probably our only hope of getting rid of him until that last year of his contract where the expiring $18M might be worth something to someone...but at that point, it might be most valuable to us.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Such a bad signing

Sure, but why would we do that?

 

[BBert]

Meyers at his contract > Turner at his contract

Eh, I don't know..... if you compare their contributions, they're probably pretty comparably bad.

Seriously. Take on more money and get no cap relief and no players that make a bit of difference.

I don't even think Turner is a good rotational player. I've never been impressed with him. He has a few good games here in there when his shot (miraculously) is falling, but those are few and far between.

He's shooting 44% from 2 20% from 3. Abysmal. 3 assists 2 turnovers per 36. Yeah, that's great.

Panic Plan B Turner.

 

[Sinobas]

If I were Paul Allen, I'd seriously consider breaking all of Neil Olshey's fingers for signing turner to 18 mil per year.

 

[joeBlazers]

Would you trade him for Nic?

Does it matter if we would or not? Why would Charlotte consider that?

 

[joeBlazers]

You won't know unless you ask ... right?

I imagine that would be a very quick call. They might even hang-up before answering the question.

When you combine player + contract Turner hands down least valuable asset on this team

 

[Sinobas]

If the NBA handed every team an amnesty ticket tommorrow, and they had 24 hours to use it, who here doesn't think the Blazers use that on Turner ASAP?

I'm still shocked Neil got an extension after signing this bum.

 

[joeBlazers]

Something needs to happen soon. Something ...

He's been horrendous in FA. I just hope we don't end up losing someone who is more valuable to the team because of Turner's contract. We could probably sign a couple of scrubs from the D league to play as well as Harkless and Turner.

And probably Top 5 in the NBA.

It's $17 million per year. It's bad enough without you adding money to it.
