Bobcats Look Into Trading For Evan Turner

[KembaWalker]

Luckily this rumor is about the Bobcats wanting Turner and not Afflalo. But I don't see why you couldn't expand this and get the Bobs a shooter too. Here's one where the Bobs can even keep their picks:

CHA gets Mayo and Turner
MIL gets Gordon
PHI gets MKG, Neal, Udoh, LAL 2nd from MIL

your inner homer is showing. Turner is not worth MKG

MKG has been pretty terrible this year. He keeps falling out of the rotation and the minutes are given to ANTHONY TOLLIVER

His minutes have been pretty steady all year. He's 20 years old, he's not gonna be playing 38 minutes per game especially coming off an injury.

He's an awesome defender and a great slasher but you can see the D sag right back off of him when he gets the ball.

With even a half reliable jumper he'd be killing it right now.

I'll bet on a 20 year old getting a decent jumpshot before betting on Evan Turner to become a reliable player or even our ability/willingness to re sign him to a contract. doesn't make sense to trade MKG for him

Not disagreeing with you

Would not like to see 76ers trade Turner because they are just giving up a young all star calibar player and the 76ers are already bad enough. They already traded Jrue and they are bad enough to get another young player.They don't need to be worse, they would still get a high lottery pick the way season is looking. They need to keep somebody. I'd be more open to them trading thad since he did request a trade. Turner is having his best year and should be one player 76ers hold onto. He would make the playoffs with charlotte, but I don't know who they would offer for him.

Turner has played better this year compared to other years, so credit to him. MKG imo has been pretty terrible. Only thing he has is being a good defender. I'm even starting to think thats somewhat overrated. But he's hell of young and the talent is there.

From Philly's standpoint, what tangible good does it do to add MKG to their roster of endless young guys that can't shoot or to add Biyombo when they just drafted a possibly better version in Noel? Neither one of those guys make a ton of sense for Philly nor should they be on the table for Evan **** Turner.

You talking about homers is rich. And since when do you comment on things NOT involving Cleveland? How downright cosmopolitan of you. Good to see some progress.

If your the Bobcats and your even thinking about dealing your pick for a playoff run, go after Aaron Afflalo who can actually shoot and not Turner. I think Turner is a great player, but if the Bobcats acquire him, like others have said, then they need to deal MKG and potentially force fit a shooter with their pick.

Or, they can just deal for AA and not worry about any of that. I think Orlando would listen if you start talking a 2014 draft choice.

MKG does not need to be traded if Turner comes in....Why does he HAVE to be traded? He can play the 3 and he can play the 2 if need be, and if they go small ball he could play the 4...Turner can play the 2 the 3 the 4 and even run the point at times....If you bring Turner in it becomes easier to part ways with MKG...Who is ONLY in his second year and is ONLY 20 years old....He has a ton of potential and he hasnt played horrible he just hasnt been spectacular...He and Turner may actually fit nice along side each other

MKG could potentially back turner up, and the coach could experiment with them on the court at the same time. MKG has really had a hard-time showing up in the NBA ever since he came into the league, maybe some competition for his playing time could be the motivation he needs.

MKG hasnt stood out....but he isnt a bust like some people wanna label...far from that...give the kid another 2 or 3 years and another 10-15 minutes again see what happens....Hes a good defender decent rebounder and though he doesnt shoot much when he does shoot he takes good shots
