Woj: Evan Turner to Portland, 4 yrs/$70 mil (EDITED)

[Brett43]

I love ET, but I am surprised at the size of this contract. I don't think the Celtics were prepare to pay that much. Losing Turner hurts the Celtics this year.

[sharkeisha]

wasn't even aware that Evan Turner was still relevant, 17M a year lol.

My goodness, guys like Melo Thompson love are on steal for deals

And people been saying Kevin Love is a bad contract. He woulda got 25-30M per this off-season.

Cavs got a ton of great deals, Love, Tristan, and even Shumpert.

[Scalabrine]

That is freaking ridiculous. He can't even shoot the damn basketball.

That's not the only skill needed in basketball.

The Blazers have plenty of floor spacing and Turner has a bunch of useful skills otherwise. He has a good midrange game and is a great point forward in the Shaun Livingston role, still absolutely insane that he is getting nearly 19 mil per year but I think its better hann paying Parsons more. I think ultimately he's a 4th or 5th starter/6th man type of player.

Do NBA players really so dislike Portland that they have to pay THAT to attract just somebody?

[PierceFan4ever]

He's a good player. No way Ainge was going to pay him that much

[OkcSinceSGA]

Guys chill the F out. This is equivalent to 11-12 mill a year under previous cap. Turner put up what 13/6/6? He's still got upside and is a great playmaker who can take pressure of Lillard as a pseudo point forward. I'd rather take Turner for 75 than Batum for 120.

[PTPaQ]

is everybody still having trouble understanding why these contracts are so inflated? come one guys...

[Adam1221]

When Jeremy Lin on a 12m per year is the best deal you know the new cap is insane.

[Ben-N1ce]

Brad Stevens GOAT coach confirmed along with Lue...

[ratul]

Well this is a joke. Incredible. And al Jefferson only got 30. Role players getting paid. Nba bankrupt in three years

[Cavaliers2]

Well...I like Evan Turner and he seems like a good fit for the Blazers but this seems like too much money

[Jakay]

Every single thread so far is "OMG HE GOT SO MUCH OF DA MONIES"

This will actually hurt Boston, I thought he was a bit of an unsung hero there (save by his own mouth).

[Ferulci]

I dont understand the signing. Can a Blazers fan explain to me ?

I agree that he has other skills, he seems to be a good playmaker and ballhandler.

But do the really need that? They have enough guys to create with Lilliard and McCollum, or will their fresh 18 M signing lead the bench unit? I don't see them coexisting.

[Adam1221]

BTW does anybody know the max for a single player in this new CBA?
With all these crazy deal's there's no way Lebron should make only 1-3m more than Batum.

[mattyBoi]

Absolutely horrible.

[Zion Wembanyama]

He got his money! Now I hope it works out for PDX.
