I looked it up. Last season, Mavs were 8-9 without him. In bubble season, 7-7. They also won a couple playoff games without him last season.
So about 500. That makes sense actually. He demands the ball and he does have some limitations but you have conveniently left out this season which is not good at all. 0-5 until this last game which is not counted as without him because he started.
 
Waaaay too much for Turner.

I don’t really think so. He’s the prototype current day big. Long, can defend out to the perimeter, blocks shots, can score inside and out. He also most likely hasn’t hit his ceiling yet.

It's why I want to trade for Bamba. If you look at their career numbers, Bamba compares pretty favorably to Turner. Would like to buy low and see if we can turn him in to a similar player. Advanced numbers are pretty close across the board.

probably, especially with his injury history

but he's a very good rim-protector/shot-blocker with an efficient offensive game who can soot the three ball and get to the FT line....and he's still 26. He has the added advantage, leverage-wise, of playing for a small market team; and small market teams almost always have to overpay a bit to hold onto their good players

I wouldn't want Portland paying that much for him though
 
17 million of that Turner extension comes this season. After this, it'll be 2 years, one at I think it was 20.9, the next 19.9. I love that move for Indy.

I hadn't noticed. Numbers for this season:

might be a little skewed in Turner's favor since he's having easily the best overall year of his career

their career numbers are much more even:

really close. I like that Bamba is a better rebounder, but even as a shot-blocker and in offensive efficiency

I think they both have had quite a few injuries

kind of hard to believe that Orlando would not be willing to move one or two bigs:

Franz Wagner 6-9
Bol Bol 7-2
Paolo Banchero 6-10
Mo Bamba 7-0
Wendell Carter Jr. 6-10
Moritz Wagner 6-11
Jonathan Isaac 6-11

I didn't know teams could do that, or what CBA rule allows it

and yeah, 20M/year is a lot better than 30M/year
 
What a deal for Turner. He's still gonna be moved, but at that price, it's much more attractive to other teams.

I like Bamba too. Would be willing to gamble on that upside.
 
I think ideally I’d like to peel Wendell Carter Jr from Orlando but I’d be fine with Bamba
 
Disagree. It’s two more years. Not 4 or 5. In one year it becomes expiring. If he is earning it you have a good deal. If not you end up with an expiring contract.
I see a lot of people agreeing with you, and that is OK. I personally just don't see it with Turner. And especially with his terrible injury history. Just not a fan.
 
Who wants a sneak peak at Hachimura nation? Peep it on ABC right meow
 
I love Jaylen Brown’s game. Joe, make it happen
I'm pretty optimistic that we could make a move for a star player but I don't even think we should be shopping for that star player from the roster of the team with the best record in the league.
 
Watching the Kings struggle with the Wolves and the Lakers competing with the team with the best record in the league, really makes me impatient with Joe. This is the season that the league is the most wide open it's been in a long time and there's no telling when it will be again. So if there is any way to put a highly competitive roster around Dame, that works in Chauncey's system... waiting until the off season to make that happen shouldn't be the mindset.

Wide open kind of? Denver is running away with the west.

To me even they look very beatable. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up winning it all this season but I also won't be blown away if they end up getting upset the way they did the Sonics back in 1994. The parity is crazy right now. If we make moves that balance this roster and make it make sense around Dame and Chauncey's system, while simultaneously mortgaging our future for the right second star... I wouldn't be afraid of the Nuggets in a seven game.
